Otrivin Paediatric Nasal Drops 0.05% (10ml)

Before using the drops, always wash your hands thoroughly. Gently clean your child’s nostrils with a soft cloth, then lay the child down with their head slightly tilted back. Instil the recommended number of drops—usually one to two in each nostril, as advised by your doctor—and keep the child in the same position for about a minute to allow the drops to work effectively. Do not use the drops more than two to three times a day unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. After use, replace the cap securely and store the bottle out of reach of children. Additionally, avoid sharing the bottle with others and use the medicine strictly according to the prescription.
