Can Fexofenadine Tablets Be Given To A 4-year-old Child For Treating Hives?
My 4 year old daughter has hives all over and I m wondering if I can give her Children s Allegra Allergy 30 mg orally disintegrating tablet, fexofenadine? From what I have read, it says do not give to children under 6 but the liquid kind you can give to children 2-11. It s all I have so I m wondering if I need to make a trip into town to get something else or if it would be okay to give her the tablet form?
