My daughter who is 3 was on Singulair for severe allergies. We stopped it 4 days ago and her allergy symptoms are returning. Does anyone who used Singulair for their children for allergies know of any Safe alternatives to try? We used Claritin and Zyrtec in the past and both were not successful. Thanks!

Have you gone to a hollistic, MD.? They have several different alternatives to modern medicine.

It depends on the age of your child, if it is> 12 years then a new drug on the market recently Zyflo Cr (does not have the same side effects of Singulair)

Try over the counter Chlortrimaton. Also called Chlor tabs. Check with the pharmacist first tho, and see if she is old enough. There is also prescription Rhinocort. Check with your Dr. on this. Good old Benedryl will work, and comes in childrens dosage, but will make her sleepy so she will have to take it at night. Good Luck, you are doing the right thing. I wished I knew about this before my son developed full blown depression. Hang in there.
