Cetirizine Syrup is an antihistamine used to treat allergic rhinitis, chronic idiopathic urticaria, and other allergic conditions like sneezing, runny nose, and skin rashes in children. It works by blocking histamine, a substance responsible for allergy symptoms, providing effective relief for various allergic reactions.
Besides these main uses, this syrup also effectively manages symptoms resulting from allergic reactions such as insect bites in children. When your child suffers from allergies, this medicine helps reduce symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and itchy or watery eyes. It can also help to alleviate skin reactions like redness, swelling, and itching caused by hives.

Make sure to inform the doctor about any of your child's pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you observe any side effects while your child is on this medicine, immediately notify your doctor. It's crucial to continue giving the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.
