1 year old baby nasal spray?

Nasal spray use in 1-year-old babies is generally safe, but only salt water (saline) sprays are suitable for babies. Decongestant sprays with drug ingredients (such as oxymetazoline) are not recommended for children under 2 years old.
Saline sprays thin thick nasal mucus, temporarily ease congestion, and help your baby breathe comfortably. For use: keep baby in semi-upright position, tilt head slightly to the side, spray toward the outer nostril opening for 1-2 seconds, repeat on the other side. Avoid spraying more than 3-4 times per day.
If nasal congestion comes with fever, restlessness, feeding difficulty, or yellow/green discharge, be sure to consult your pediatrician.
