What are Otrivine Child Nasal Drops?

Otrivine Child Nasal Drops are designed for kids who are suffering from blocked or stuffy noses. Ideal for children aged 6 and over, Otrivine Child Nasal Drops help to open the nasal passages so your little one can breathe easily and start to feel a whole lot better.

 

Why does my child have a blocked nose?

There are many reasons why children might suffer from a blocked nose, and most of the time it’s nothing to worry about. Some of the most common causes of blocked noses are:

  • Cold and flu
  • Sinusitis or a sinus infection
  • Hay fever or other allergies
  • Rhinitis
  • Reaction to other medication

 

How will these nasal drops clear my child’s blocked nose?

Otrivine Child Nasal Drops contain the active ingredient xylometazoline hydrochloride, which helps to clear your nasal passages. It does this by helping swollen blood vessels in the nose return to their normal size and reducing the number of nasal secretions, clearing any blockage in the nose.

 

How to use Otrivine Child Nasal Drops.

Before using this product, clear and wipe your child’s nose. Tilt your child’s head right back and apply 1 – 2 Otrivine Child Nasal Drops into each nostril. Do this once or twice a day for no more than 5 days.

 

Why do I need to answer questions to buy this product?

 You do not need a prescription for Otrivine Child Nasal Drops, however, you will be asked to complete a short medical questionnaire by your Chemist-4-U pharmacist before we can take your order. This includes some simple questions that all pharmacies legally are required to ask before supplying this kind of product. This helps our pharmacy team to be sure that this product is the best choice for you.
