My son is having some kind of allergic reaction. He has started with itching last week. It was not so serious so we wait to see what is going to happen. But then he started to sneeze, his eyes become watery and he even had a problem with breathing. I have bought him Claritin. I see on the label that its generic name is loratadine. I am giving this medicine to my son for the first time. He is 10 years old. What is loratadine?

It is very good medication used in cases like your son experience. It is antihistamine. It means that it works by preventing histamine (product in the body that appears during allergy reactions) from occurring. You can give him 10 mg daily. It is regular dosage for kids over 6 years and adults. Do not be afraid to give him it is perfectly good medicine and it should not make any harm if taken properly. Just follow the instructions on the label and best of luck.
