Are they worse than her behavior when her allergies are bad? How old is your daughter? If she is 5 or older, she can be tested. I highly recommend Dr. Henry Fishman. He is awesome with kids and can help you find the right medicine for your child that balances symptom control and side effects.

What OTC do you use? We use Allegra for our five year old, no side effects that I can tell.

Yes and it works great. No side effects.

Probably not. All antihystamines can cause the drying out (which causes the constipation). And same with the mood issues. How old is he? He may hate having something sprayed up his nose, but Flonase is awesome, combine with some eye drops when needed and he should be good to go.

OP here.DS gets constipated/sleepy/cranky with OTC and was wondering if the prescription would have fewer side effects.

Oh Jesus just take regular ceterizine or if it makes you sleepy fexofenidine.

I do sometimes. It works but it makes me hungry and sleepy.

Does it work? Side effects?
