Good afternoon. My daughter is only 5 years old, and she has already, by chance, managed to try a whole bunch of antihistamines. We rarely get lucky without these medicines. She has dermatitis and as soon as we removed the skin manifestations, she will again eat something wrong somewhere. You understand, children often treat each other and change in kindergarten, and they even put everything in their mouths. I'm very worried about her health! What do you think about taking antihistamines at an early age?

Hello dear Olga. To begin with, I will tell you that absolutely any drug contains both positive and undesirable side effects. That is, each tablet, including antihistamine, even if it is the most modern drugs, carries both benefit and harm. The selection of funds for treatment is carried out exclusively by a highly qualified specialist who carefully monitors the health of the child and carefully compares the risk and benefit. In this case, such parameters as the general health of the child, side effects of the drug, the ratio of harm and benefit are necessarily taken into account.
