NO, NEVER PASS YOUR MEDS TO ANOTHER. ONE CAN BUY
ZYRTEC FOR ALLERGIES OTC. VS. STRONG ANTIBIOTIC. AMOX. WHICH MUST BE TAKEN IN IT'S ENTIRETY (ALL PILLS)--MOSTLY INFECTIONS. ZYRTEC USE TO BE A SCRIPT--NOW BUY OTC...IT'S SAFER. G/DTR. MAY HAVE BAD REACTION--BIGGER PROBLEM. GOOD LUCK

Allergies usually come from the mom, and just because the mom is allergic to something, doesn't mean the child will be allergic to the exact same thing - just that the child has a higher chance for allergies. I'm allergic to 7 meds; my kids are not allergic to any meds that we know of, but my daughter has 3 food allergies.
