Cetirizine, Claritin or Allegra. Any of these allergy meds can be taken by children once daily. May give Benadryl every 4-6hrs for allergies. Follow the dose on the bottle. Claritin, Cetirizine, and Allegra are long-acting and non-drowsy. You will have to take it once a day whereas Benadryl is short-acting and makes you sleepy, you will have to take it multiple times a day. All of these medicines are safe for 6months and up to children. Please contact your doctor before starting daily medicines.
