Zyrtec (cetirizine): Zyrtec (cetirizine) is approved for patient use to age 2. Because the drug is now over-the-counter, the fda considers it a pretty safe drug with a good safety profile. The drug is designed for chronic use in patients who have allergies and i think this is a pretty good choice, if your 3-year-old needs it. If the medicine is helping, great, continue. If not, it may be something else that needs to be eval'd.
