Follow-up to Rash on Inner Thighs - Taking Zyrtec??

I posted yesterday about my 2yr 5mo old daughter's rash between her legs. The Dr's only suggestion (that we haven't already done) was to give her 1 teasp Zyrtec 1xday. We have already switched panties, switched Pull-ups, switched pants, used hydrocortisone, wiped her clean after accidents,etc. Has anyone given their nearly 2.5 year old Zyrtec syrup? Not sure if this is the right path to take. Thanks mommies!

When Zyrtec Is Not Enough...

My step son has slight asthma which almost never flares. He has allergies everyday. His mother does not keep him on a regular schedule of antihistimines as I did my daughter and so now I need a new way to tackle this problem. When he comes home to us, we give him Zyrtec or Claritin or something, but many times he is in full allergy flare by the time we get it to him. How can I help him? Should I drug him up the minute he hits our door or should I wait for allergy symptoms? Once he has taken a 24 hour antihisitmine, is there anything...
