How to Use

How to use Xylometazoline nasal drops?

Otrivin Paediatric 0.05% is to be used as nasal drops. Follow the usage instructions provided by your child’s paediatrician for the correct use of Otrivin paediatric Nasal drops. Before applying the nasal drops, make sure your child’s nose is clean. Tilt your child’s head slightly back and, without touching the nozzle, carefully administer the drops into each nostril. Hold the tilted head of your baby for a few minutes to allow the medication to spread throughout the nose. If the nasal drop completely misses the child’s nose, apply the drop again. Moreover, if you think some part of the Otrivin nasal drop gets into the nose, avoid applying it again. Repeat the steps for the other nose as well. After applying to both eyes, immediately clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap on the bottle. It is best to use one bottle for one child, as this helps prevent the possible spread of infection. In case of accidental ingestion, contact your child’s paediatrician. In general, Otrivin paediatric nasal drops are used in the following dose:

For children aged 1 to 5 years: The usual suggested dose is 1 to 2 drops into each nostril, every 8 to 10 hours. Make sure you do not exceed three applications a day into each nostril.

For children aged 6 to 11 years, the usual suggested dose is 2 to 4 drops into each nostril, 2 to 3 times a day as needed. Be sure to follow your child’s paediatrician’s instructions. And avoid exceeding three applications a day into the nostril. The last dose of Otrivin paediatric nasal drop can be applied before going to bed. The nasal drop is specifically designed for use in children aged 1 to 11 years old under the supervision of a healthcare professional. The paediatrician should strictly recommend the frequency and duration of treatment. They advise against using this nasal drop for more than ten consecutive days. If signs and symptoms persist, seek medical help. Prolonged and excessive usage of this nasal formulation may cause the stiffness in your child’s nose to return or even worsen in some conditions. On the other hand, sudden treatment discontinuation can cause congestion to recur with severity and can worsen your child’s condition.
