Quality Choice Children's Allergy Relief Dye Free is a medication that temporarily helps relieve symptoms caused by hay fever or other upper respiratory allergies, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy, watery eyes. It works by blocking certain signals in the body that cause these allergy symptoms. The medication is taken in liquid form, with children aged 6 to 11 years typically starting with a dose of 5 to 10 milliliters every 4 to 6 hours, but no more than 6 doses in a 24-hour period. It's important to note that this medication should not be used to make a child sleepy or with any other product containing diphenhydramine. Always consult a doctor before use if the child has breathing problems or is taking sedatives or tranquilizers, as these can increase drowsiness.
