Please do not give Atarax (hydroxyzine) drops to your four-month-old. Hydroxyzine is not safe or effective for treating common cold symptoms in infants and can cause serious side effects, such as extreme drowsiness or breathing difficulties. Since colds are viral, antihistamines will not help. For a baby this young, it is always best to consult your pediatrician before giving any medication. To help her feel more comfortable, you can use saline nasal drops and a cool-mist humidifier.

Is it safe to give Atarax drops to a four-month-old baby for a cold, even though I read online that this medication is used for allergies or anxiety?
