Guest guest Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Karac has the same problem. I do what you do; a little Vicks on his nose. Pat K New Question When your child has a stuffy nose and can't seem to breathe, what kind of medication do you give them that won't make them hyperactive? Boy, I made the mistake of giving Benadryle and he was up all night "bouncing off of the walls". Claritin and Zyrtec makes him irritable and he hits himself on the head and screams. I can only imagine what it makes him feel like. Nose sprays are out of the question. I get aggravated that the doctor keeps telling me to teach him to use them. I couldn't help but laugh (almost hysterically) when he suggested using a Nettie Pot to flush his sinuses. He will let me put Vicks (sparingly) on his chest at night. Allergies seem to be constant with him. Mom of (23) A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
