Otrivine Children's Nasal Drops are an over-the-counter gentle nasal decongestant. The 10ml bottle contains the active ingredient Xylometazoline Hydrochloride (0.05% w/v), specially formulated at a lower strength for young children.
It is designed to give fast relief from nasal congestion, blocked sinuses, and stuffiness caused by common colds, flu, or nasal allergies (hay fever) in children aged 6 to 11 years.
Otrivine Children's Drops gently open up clogged young nostrils:
Unblocks Nasal Passages Fast: Xylometazoline gently shrinks swollen blood vessels inside the lining of your child's nose, clearing blocked nasal passages within 2 to 5 minutes.
Long-Lasting Comfort: Keeps airways open so your child can breathe, eat, and sleep comfortably for up to 10 hours.
🚨 Rebound Congestion Warning: Do not use these drops continuously for more than 5 days in a row in children. Overusing decongestant drops can cause "rebound congestion," making their nasal stuffiness worse when the medicine stops.
🚨 Age Caution: This 0.05% strength is intended for children aged 6 to 11 years. Do not use in infants or children under 6 years old without a doctor's explicit advice.
🚨 Avoid Contamination: To prevent passing colds or germs between family members, each bottle should be used by one person only.
Recommended Dosage for Children (6 to 11 years): Administer 1 or 2 drops into each nostril, 1 to 2 times daily as needed. Do not exceed 2 applications per nostril in 24 hours.
How to Apply:
Have your child gently blow their nose to clear their nostrils.
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Have your child sit back or lie down with their head tilted slightly back.
Carefully place 1 or 2 drops into each nostril without touching the dropper tip to the inside of their nose.
Keep their head tilted back for a minute to let the drops spread inside the nasal cavity.
Wipe the dropper tip clean before replacing the cap.
