How much Zyrtec should a 2year old take?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would talk to a pediatrician first. Such a small child, it would be easy to over medicate the child. Also do the instructions say it is okay for the drug to be taken by a two year old. Even if the instructions say it is okay to give this to a child of this age. Always check with a pediatrician first.

Can kids take Tylenol and Zyrtec together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes...but be sure you have the correct dose according to their weight from your doctor.

I was just at the doctor today and he told me to give my one year old daughter (20.4 LBS) Tylenol as needed every 4-6hrs at a dose of 0.8ml and 24hr Zyrtec before bed for the next 5 days at a dose of 2ml/2cc aka 1/2 tsp.

I am also a nurse at a Children's hospital. It is safe as long as you are giving a dose based on the child's weight...not the child's age.

Can you take Zyrtec and Tylenol PM together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Because they both contain antihistamines, they will cause a reaction. Tylenol PM has the same antihistamine as Benadryl and it is not recommended that you take Zyrtec and Benadryl at the same time. Contact you doctor to verify if you can take your Zyertec in the morning (as usually prescribed) and the Tylenol in the evening. Zertec is a long acting antihistamine and should be out of your system before you go to bed. The Tylenol PM is a short acting antihistamine and would be out your system before your morning dosage.
