Suggest Anti-histamine For Eye Infection?
My 4 year old has an allergy that made his eye swollen. Eye Doctor said it could be from dust and he prescribed him an anti-allergy drop, but told me to also give him an oral antishistaminr. What anti-histamine is better to relieve him? Celestamine or xyzal?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
Celestamine is a combination of a steroid (Betamethasone) and an anti-histamine (dexchlorpheniramine maleate) while xyzal consist of anti-histamine drug levocetrizine.
Here, your child only needs anti-histamine and no steroid, so I would advise you to go ahead with Xyzal. Also, Xyzal will be less sedative as compared to celestamine.
Hope this will be helpful.
Do ask if any further question is there.
Take care.
