Claritin vs Zyrtec for 3 Year Old

Just curious on what other moms think of claritin or zyrtec for a child. My daughter will be 3 next month and we are trying to figure out what works best on her. Her allergies always turn into an ear or sinus infection. Does claritin make anyones kids sleepy? She has been taking it the last two days and has seemed more whiny and tired, it may be that she is still getting over her infection or not feeling good. Her allergies start with the puffy eyes and then turn into watery eyes. When it gets bad it gets a runny nose and cough like...

Advise on Dr. Prescription

I took my 10 year old son to the doctor with symptoms including a soar throat and stuffy nose. The nurse did a quick strep test that came back negative. When the doctor came in he said it was probably his sinuses. He looked in his ears and found them to be normal. Then he looked in his throat and said that he was going to prescribe him singulair and zyrtec because he felt that my son has allergies and not a virus. This just sounds fishy to me. We have never been told that my son has allergies and now suddenly we are being told that he...

Advice on Allergies and Asthma in 4 Year Old

My daughter will be 4 in July and we have had two trips to the ER since January due to coughing fits and once by ambulance because she stopped breathing (found out she had pneumonia). I saw an allergist who said she definitly has Asthma. He prescribed Zyrtec, Nasonex, and Advair. I don't believe my daughter needs all of these medications and I'm seeking a second opinion this week. I gave my daughter the Zyrtec and this morning she had a coughing fit, followed by vomiting. I won't give her the Advair until I see a Pulm. Specialist. I...
