DD is suffering horribly from allergies (like the rest of us). Are they too young for allergy medicine? I know I can give her benedryl, but it makes her drowsy. Do they make non-drowsy for toddlers? I asked her pedi at her 18 month old check-up yesterday, but I couldn't really hear over DD's screaming,and was flustered trying to restrain my kicking toddler. No shots and the kids still screamed like the doctor was going to rip her arm off just looking in her ear.I will check again with the pedi office, but though I would check hear as well.

    My daughter's allergist has her taking a nightly dose of children's Zyrtec. I think she takes 1/2tsp(not at home so I can't check).

    C takes Alllerga, it doesn't work very well for him, but better than benadryl. My insurance refuses to pay for any prescription allergy medicine until I can prove that a list of like 10 OTC medicines don't work. Fruck them. I would see your dr and what he
