Our 16 month old has all the symptons of a cold (coughing, ear infection, yellowish mucus). Yesterday, dr. prescribed antibiotics for the ear infection. Also, provided samples of Zyrtec...for congestion? Will this work? (if Zyrtec is for allergies). Her Daddy has allergies....but, not seeing the connection given the strong cold symtoms.
Anyone have experience giving Zyrtec to a toddler? Side effects? (irratability....please no....we've got enough w/ the cold symptoms themselves :0 )
Tx-in-advance.

my son takes Zyrtec for allergies and when he has a bad cold. It takes a day for it to work but it does help w his cold illness. The only side effect he had that sometimes it made him sleepy. I hope your child feels better soon

The product is used primarily as a an preteen or an adult medicine, if i were you i would get a second opinion, if a child gets a cold or an adult for that matter the only protection we have is our immune system and nothing else, just be careful and watch the child's temperature and allow plenty of liquids
It just takes time .
