When we talk about nasal medicine (nasal spray/drops), the two most commonly used products are saline solutions and decongestants (nasal congestion relievers).

Saline solutions can be used safely at any age. They moisten the nose, thin thick mucus, and clear allergens. They can be used several times a day as needed. In babies, drops are usually easier to apply than sprays.

Decongestant spray/drops (such as those containing oxymetazoline) are not recommended for babies under 6 months. In older babies, they can be used for a maximum of 3 days, no more than 2 times daily. Long-term use causes dependence and reverses nasal congestion.

Your pediatrician's advice on which product to use, when, and at what dosage will be most accurate. It wouldn't be right for me to recommend a brand — you should get information about the active ingredient and dosage from your doctor.
