Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

Claritin dosage depends on the severity of symptoms of the patient. In acute pathologies (aggravation of asthma symptoms due to upper respiratory tract infection), Claritin can be used twice daily.

However, it will be decided after a full physical examination and getting a complete blood count and liver function test results.

Wish fast recovery!
