Hi
Welcome to the HCM
In my opinion your child is suffering from an allergic episode. Alerid and relent are both fine but I would recommend you the following measures for better results:
1. You may start Syp. Maxtra for better relief. It will be soothing and more comfortable due to mild sedation and better allergic control.
2. Try to find out any allergens in the surroundings of the kid. If possible, avoid them.
3. Apply lactocalamine lotion on ears and skin to relieve itching if it's present.
Hopefully this will help you. In case of any further questions about this, you may contact me.
Take care
