My almost 21 mo old is sneezing and has watery eyes much like my older kids' allergies. is a smaller dose of claritin (loratadine) okay for her? it's bad day/night

Remove the allergen: She may have perennial allergies to pets or dust mites. It would be best not to use systemic medication in such a young infant. Try to find out what her allergies are (have the older ones been tested?) and remove the allergen from the environment.

Get checked: See your pediatrician . He may have a cold instead . Allergies at this young age unlikely ,
