Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that can be used in babies under medical supervision and at appropriate doses. However, the dose varies by age and weight, so I cannot recommend a specific dose. General usage notes:
- For babies under 6 months, it is generally not recommended and is only used at the pediatrician's discretion.
- Syrup form (1 mg/ml) is the most common, with a drop form also available.
- It can cause drowsiness (sedation) as a side effect; some children may experience the opposite with restlessness.
Give Zyrtec only if your doctor recommended it and told you what dose to use. If you're going to use it for the first time, definitely consult your doctor.
