Zyrtec and Reflux Flare?

[Anonymous]

Has anyone noticed your lo’s reflux flare up when you started them on Zyrtec? My little guy’s been having flares over the last week or so (every night hard to get down again, waking up screaming/arching/passing gas), and this is the only thing I can think of that may have caused it. He had been on antibiotics & probiotics (sinus infec/bronchitis), but he got checked on Tuesday and was all clear then. Any input is welcome! Thanks in advance!!

hmmmm Cooper has been on Zyrtec forever and never had any problems. I wonder if he is just getting the antibiotics out of his system? Not sure… maybe it is a reflux flare… which gets a great big UGH!

You know, my daughter has a hard time falling asleep on the Zyrtec too. I asked my pediatrician about this and he poo-pooed me, saying he had never heard of anything like that. I’ve tried giving it to her in the morning with the same result. I stopped giving it to her for a while, but recently started it back up again, with the same results. After reading your post about the reflux flaring, I’m wondering if this is the reason my daughter is having a terrible time now. Ugh, this is so frustrating! I hate playing the guessing game.

Since this is an old post, has your LO gotten better with the Zyrtec or did you have to discontinue it?
