Cold, Cough, Throat Infection, Adenoids, Tonsils. Is It Safe For Low Weight Child To Take Anti-allergy Tablet?

Thanks for posting your query.
The problems you mentioned are common in children below ten years old due to immature immunity and especially more in children with atopic or allergic tendency .They are likely to decrease with age.
However if documented raised IgE (Immunoglobulin E) levels are seen, and child is frequently suffering from respiratory symptoms medications such as antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers are sometimes beneficial.
Telekast l is one such medication containing monteleukast and levocetrizine and is taken in dose according to age.
It can have many side effects like gastrointestinal upset, behavior changes and even some XXXXXXX ones like, anaphylactic reaction etc.
But it’s not common in all and is dose related.
You can start the medications and if any side effects occur, report to your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
