Isotonic nasal spray or drops are one of the safest methods for clearing a stuffy nose in babies. The salt water inside dilutes the mucus, making it easier to expel from the nose.
Usage: 2-3 times a day, you can apply 1-2 drops or one spray to each nostril. Drop form is better for babies under 6 months, spray form for older babies. After application, wait 1-2 minutes and then you can suction excess fluid with a nasal aspirator.
When to use: For cold, allergy, dry air, or teething-related nasal congestion. Applying before meals and sleep is most beneficial.
Important warning: Decongestant nasal drops (oximetazoline, etc.) should not be used in babies. Only isotonic products containing sodium chloride (salt) are safe. If congestion lasts longer than 3-4 days, yellow-green discharge, or fever is present, consult your pediatrician.
