Hi - We gave our son a 24 hour dose of Children's Claritin for allergies. We haven't seen any change. How long does it take to have effect? I know that Benadryl is fast acting. How long before I can give him a different allergy med if it doesn't help? I'll talk to his dr in the morning, but wanted to hear personal experiences. Thank you!

I am thirteen weeks pregnant and have been really sick for over a week. I went to the doctor yesterday and they said i have a sinus infection. I am literally wiped out and cant get out of bed, horrible migraine like headache, fever off and on, congestion, cough,etc. They said sinus infection is common in pregnancy but im wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how long did it take to recover?? Im kinda worried as to why I cant get better.

Hello mamas, My son has sports induced asthma and has been on Flo-vent to control it. He's also taking Claritin for his allergies/sneezing. He's been on both for about a year and it seems that he's gained a bunch of weight since then. His eating habits have not changed, we don't eat fast food, junk or processed foods, we eat pretty healthy, so I don't think it's his diet I was doing some research online and see that that could be one of the side effects for both meds. I'm going to talk to my doctor to see if we have other options, but...

My son often gets runny nose/cough symptoms and my pediatrician has recommended that I try putting him on Claritin to manage those symptoms. I am reluctant to put him on medicine for prolonged periods of time. Dose anyone have information about any potential harmful effects of long-term use of allergy medicines in toddlers? Also, any suggestions of natural remedies that have worked would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

My five year old has been potty trained for almost two years now. She had been having a lot of trouble with allergies and her dr started a daily regimen of Claritin. After about a week and a half of starting the Claritin daily she began wetting the bed. But not just wetting the bed, during the day she is having trouble getting to the potty in time and pees on herself, she says when she runs she pees on herself and when she naps, she pees on herself. She uses the bathroom very frequently so it's not her just being busy and not going to the...

My son, who is almost a year old has been getting colds the past 2 months (he is in daycare). His cold finally cleared but he continues to have a runny nose and cough on and off. There is no fever, he is active and eating as usual. He also started teething 2 weeks ago and his second pair of top teeth are coming in. The teething is really bothering him, he keeps biting everything, even his fingers. As far as I can tell, the medical community does not believe that teething causes runny nose and cough. I'm worried it may be allergies, even...

Hello everyone! My 3YO has been taking Claritin for a little over a month (Children’s oral Claritin) for his eczema. Two weeks ago he had really loose diarrhea stools. After that incident, He didnt poop several times a day, just every other morning with somewhat looser than normal stools. Other than that, no fever, not losing weight, and he’s very hydrated. He’s also very active and acting like his normal self. He doesn’t poop right after eating either. Just when he poops it is either super mushy or almost undigested (little food...

My 2 1/2 year old daughter has been having this stuffy nose problem for past 3-4 weeks or so. She's not sick and doing well, but her nose is always stuffy. Not runny or have cold symptoms, but I guess something must be bothering her nose. It's not stuffy 24 hours, but she usually has something in her nose that bothers her and sometimes it's hard for me to watch her being so bothered by her stuffy nose. She hates the saline spray, so when I try to use that on her, she panics and gets upset. And even when I do get that in her nose, it...

Hi! My 4 year-old has viral-induced asthma (only has asthma when sick with a cold and at no other times). He is on Singulair and Flovent regularly and Pulmicort and Albuterol nebulizer treatments when sick. He got a cold on Wednesday and we started his cold-induced asthma plan right away. Our Pulmonary Doctor has said to have him on his sick plan for a few more days. He also ended up with a double ear infection with this cold and he started with antibiotics yesterday. He has had allergy testing and came out negative for...

I was taking Claritin every day when I found out I was about 6 weeks pregnant. I went to the OBGYN, and he said I can continue taking it and I have done so through the majority of my first trimester. When I do research on taking Claritin during pregnancy, my understanding is that it is considered "safe", in that they have no evidence that it causes birth defects. Am I OK to continue taking it? I want other opinions from moms in addition to my doctor's. Not taking some allergy med is not an option, as I can barely breathe or function...

DS woke up this morning with just a tiny bit of crud in his corner eye towards the nose. The whites of his eyes are slightly red but i can tell they are irritated. I asked him if they burned or itched and he said no. When i washed his face i took a warm wash cloth and rubbed a little and asked if that hurt and he said no. The start of pink eye? It looks like but i guess i may have to wait another day or so. I asked him if he accidentally poked himself in the eye and he said no. Thoughts???

Has anyone given claritin to a toddler and experience behavioral side-effects? My 2.5 year old has been taking Claritin for a little over a week and has been acting up much more than usual (e.g., throwing things and hitting). I realize that some of his behaviors are typical 2 year old behaviors, but his behavior definitely seems to have changed since starting the allergy medicine.
