Certain pediatric formulations may be used only under medical guidance and usually for very short durations. Young children have sensitive nasal passages, and excessive use may lead to irritation or worsening congestion.
For routine congestion relief, saline drops are generally considered much safer in younger children and babies. Parents should avoid using adult nasal medications in children without proper medical advice.
