Brief Answer:
Can be given.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

Loratidine can be given this morning without any problems. However, giving it once a day in the evening daily for a few days is enough. Give saline nasal drops like Nasoclear drop by drop in each nostril in order to relieve the nasal stuffiness. Also give steam inhalation. Water in form of vapor will reach deep inside and will help in reducing the stuffiness.

Hope that helps.
