Dr. Mary Paul, MD's Expert Contributions
Are cough medications safe?
It depends on the age. Studies have shown that under the age of 8, cough medicines do not improve cough and can have adverse effects so they should be avoided. READ MORE
At what age can a child take allergy medicine?
At 6 years old, your child can take allergy medication. Over the counter medications like Claritin or Zyrtec are safe to use. Just follow the dosing prompts based on age/weight. READ MORE
Can a 5 years old take allergy medications?
Hello, yes, a five year old can definitely take allergy medications. As an allergist, I usually avoid medications like Benadryl because it can cause drowsiness and is too short-acting. Cetirizine 5 mg is appropriate for this age. I would also recommend making an appointment to see your local allergist for testing! READ MORE
How do you fix allergies in children?
As an allergist, this is what I treat every day. The best long term solution for the treatment of allergist is allergy shots. They are the closest thing to a cure for allergies and they work really well. READ MORE
Pediatric dose question
Cough and cold medications are not recommended in this age group as they have not been shown to work and can have adverse side effects. Suctioning the nose with nasal saline is more likely to be effective for nasal congestion and a lot safer. The Nose Frieda worked wonders for my kids when they were that age. I hope he feels better soon! READ MORE
What is the best treatment for chronic tonsillitis?
If she has not been seen by an ENT already, I would start there. I would also suggest that she seen an allergist to be tested for environmental allergies, as this could be the cause of recurrent tonsillitis. READ MORE
Can lack of hearing cause speech delay?
Yes, part of learning how to speak is hearing language from others (babies learn to speak by repeating what they hear from the people around them). One of the first things we check in a child with speech delay is hearing. If he has not been seen by his pediatrician already, please make an appointment soon to discuss your concerns! READ MORE
What can a 10 year old take for seasonal allergies?
Over the counter medications such as Claritin, Zyrtec, or Allegra (or their generic versions) are all safe to use for seasonal allergies. A nasal steroid like Nasacort is helpful if there is significant nasal congestion. READ MORE
