Welcome at HCM
I have gone through your query and being your physician i completely understand your health concerns.
what is his age? For how long he is suffering from? Is he running fever? A Is he asthmatic? why he is using zyrtec?
As far as ZYRTEC is concerned it use for in allergic conditions , as well as to prevent the allergic attack. The abnormal change in behavior which u are talking about , i don't see any association between these two.
You better meet PEDIATRICIAN so that he can be properly assessed.
Zyrtec normally should not be use for prolonged periods since it has got its own side effects .
Meanwhile stay calm
May he get well soon
Hope your query is adequately addressed if you still have any feel free to ask
Regards
