I've been giving my kid Loratadine 5mg Chewable Tabs for their seasonal allergies, and I've seen a significant reduction in symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes. However, I'm a bit concerned about the potential side effects, especially the urgent ones. Has anyone else had experiences with these tablets? I'd love to hear about both the positive and negative side effects you've encountered. Also, how do you handle dosing? The package says they are chewable, but I've found that they are a bit hard for my kid to chew. Do you give them with food or water, or if you have any tips, please share.

I've been taking Loratadine 10mg Tablets for my seasonal allergies for a few weeks now, and I must say, it's been a lifesaver! The sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes have significantly improved. However, I did notice some side effects that I wanted to share with you all. I had a couple of headaches and felt a bit sleepy at times, but nothing too severe. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had similar experiences or if there are any tips for managing these side effects. Also, I'm really glad it's non-drowsy for the most part, because some older antihistamines I've tried just made me too groggy to function. Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
