Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.
Basically used in the symptomatic treatment of allergic conditions and common cold Allegra (Fexofenadine) can be given safely if your grand son is diagnosed to be suffering from Dengue fever.
He should be treated for the Dengue fever, there is no harm in giving Allegra to control his symptoms.
Hope this answers your query.
