Any recommendations - he currently uses piriton liquid but it tastes awful!

Don't think there is anything else licensed for that age group

We’ve always been told that piriton was the only one available for that age group

I'd googled and boots do one for 1 year plus but I'm reluctant to buy if it tastes the same

I'm sure my daughter was prescribed cetirizine liquid at around 18 months. I may be wrong, but it tastes fine and did the job.
I struggled when pregnant as I was only able to take the very ineffective piriton. I unfortunately have suffered from many allergies since childhood and needed meds badly in order to combat the effects (and live a normal life)
Going back 40 yrs since I was first prescribed. Many of the meds I took bavk then have been taken off the market since. I've had no ill effects. Ask to see a specialist.

What age is he? The is a cetirizine liquid that is ok from age 2 for hayfever

My son was prescribed something he was 1 - possibly certrizine - and it was very sweet tasting. I was never prescribed it again, always Piriton which is very cinnamon-y! I could never find it to buy it either.
