Oral Antihistamines

• If the nose is also itchy and runny, your child probably has hay fever (i.e., allergic symptoms of the nose AND eyes).
• Give your child an oral antihistamine, which should relieve both symptoms (see Dosage table for chlorpheniramine products).
• Continue it until pollen season is over.
• Oral antihistamines usually prevent the need for eyedrops.
