Posted on Tue, 18 Jul 2017
Question: My daughter (3 years old) was told to take Zyrtec by the doctor, but she is not tolerating it well. She has had cold symptoms for several weeks. When she takes the Zyrtec, among other things, she complains of abdominal pain.

Is there a similar medication she can take instead of Zyrtec?
