the american academy of pediatrics and the american academy of family practice both pooh-pooh the use of cold medications in children under the age of 6 even though many of these medications have been used for decades prior to this edict. zyrtec is an antihistamine and it can be used safely in children over two but those "multi-symptom" cold conconctions tend to be a bit too much for three year olds to handle. most have decongestants that make the nose run like a faucet or stimulate them like they drank a cup of coffee -- things that you do not need to experience in a three year old.
can my three year old take childrens multi symptom triaminic(with antihistamine) and zyrtec on the same day?
