Is It Safe To Give Cetirizine For Runny Nose In Infants?
My son is 7 months old and has had really bad buggers since he was 2 months old. Lately his nose has been really loose, wet, and runny. Well I took him back to the doctor this week because he is sick with a virus,(the pediatricians conclusion) and his pediatrician prescribed cetirizine HCL 2.5mL once daily. Is this the recommended medicine for something like this and for this age child?
