Best Children's OTC Allergy Meds?

DD (2) just started to have allergies the last 2-3 days. There seems to be pollen everywhere. What OTC med do you find works best for runny nose, sneezing, and watery eyes? I'd prefer something non-drowsy so that I can give it to her in the morning before daycare. Thanks!

Have to tried essential oils?

I am not a seller Chat Icon

But I use Young Living and there is an oil for everything!

I have been using them for my allergies and they have been working great.

I also hear the new one that just went OTC from prescription only is supposed to be great- Xyzal.
Not sure if they make a kid version.

Yes. They have a kid's version and it's excellent. My DS was on the prescription. We paid a lot out of pocket, but it was worth it. We went and found out it's OTC now and saved us sooo much. I use the Xyzal in the morning along with the allergy nose spray. With the combo it helps my son a lot.

I want to try it for myself. My allergies don't really kcik in until late summer and fall- whatever it is I am allergic to seems to peek from August on... but when it's bad I suffer so much and Zyrtec, Claritin etc just take the edge of.
I tried Flonase too but not a fan of spraying anything in my nose.

Claritin has been working wonders for my daughter. Non drowsy. She's been taking it every night for the past month or so.

I've never seen this in a store. Would you mind letting me know what store you found it at? I'd like to give it a try for DD. Thanks!
