What Experts Say
Ketotifen is an antihistamine that also stabilizes mast cells, the immune cells that release histamine during an allergic reaction. Pediatricians and allergists often prescribe it for children with recurring allergic symptoms because it works gradually to reduce how often reactions happen over the following weeks.
Doctors explain that ketotifen needs several weeks of regular use before its full preventive benefit becomes clear, so it works best as an ongoing daily treatment rather than a rescue medicine for a sudden asthma attack or a severe allergic flare that needs immediate care.
Mild drowsiness is common in the first few days of treatment, so experts advise starting at bedtime and adjusting timing once the body adjusts to the medicine. Parents are encouraged to keep a simple symptom diary to help the doctor judge whether the syrup is working well over time and whether the dose needs any change.
