She's got allergies terribly but I hate giving her benadryl because it totally wipes her out! Any non drowsy allergy medicine I can give my baby? She's miserable!

 I don't like giving medicine either, I notice that the plain nose spray and a humidifier works ok (not great but ok) on DD. Hope she feels better.

Okay I guess I'll just have to go to the drug store and check it out. I dont' want to take her to the doc because she's been like 5 times since January and I think they are sick of me lol

My son has terrible allergies and after trying everything, i now use little allergies allergen block. u just rub a small amount around their nose. it's non-drowsy and all natural.

Childrens Zyrtek works great for my daughter and she never get sleepy quickly but benadril does make her very tired and whiney!

They make this medicine called pedia care of something.  Its for cough and colds and it says you can give to 2 and older.

The Childrens Claritin is a great non-drowsy one.
