I can't believe you're doctor adviced you to give a child clariton-d it has a lot of pseudoephrine in it. I can't take it it makes me all jittery. Did she maybe mean the regular clariton which is just 10mg of loratidine?

Also I can't use a nettie pot....for 1 I saw it on t.v. & it was so gross. 2. I had my nose broke really bad when i was little & it was very crooked, I had it reshaped when I was in highschool, but I still find it hard to believe that that water would flow so easily through my nose. I've broken my nose 7 times. Which could be the reason for most of my problems.

They have childrens clariton D, 3/4 tsp, she told me to give to him and oh yes it wired him up last night, but i tell you what his nose stopped running, his eyes looked much better, you have to think my child is big for 19 months old, he's about 30 lbs, now he has been taking childrens medicine ever since he was a year he out grew infant medicine... so i trust my doctors there the best around this area..

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you're doctor was bad. I didn't know they made children's clariton d. I'm glad it helped him.

I agree I think the 24 hour is too much as well. I have some of the clariton - d at home, but I went out & bought the zyrtec because it's only 12 hour. time released or not they put a lot of medicine in that pill to make it last 24 hour.

so far so good. I'm a little foggy; I kicked a metal skid this morning & scraped open my ankle, but other than that I'm good. I don't operate heavy machinery or anything. I sit on this computer & check in with you all mostly.
