Safe OTC Meds for a 2 year old

My dd has a terrible runny nose from allergies. What can I give her to offer her some relief? I gave her some baby tylenol and that seems to have helped some. She does not have a cough. Just a runny nose.

I always used benedryl (sp??) for mine. Mine are all snotty and coughing these days, I am thinking I am gonna try to put them on Claritin for a while and see if this is a seasonal allergy thing.

The pollen count is through the roof here, so I think that's what it is.

I always give mine Benadryl, too. (Now Emily is on allergy meds, though) Benadryl doesn't show dosing for a 2 year old, and I don't know how big Cara is, but with Travis I would give him 1/4 teaspoon.

Her nose is drying up, so I am guessing it was something in her Easter candy.
