Application

For children under 18

A child under 2 years of age still does not know how to hold his breath, he can draw in and swallow the drug. And as a result of the deposition of fat molecules in the lungs, exogenous pneumonia can occur. Therefore, oil formulations are contraindicated at this age.

In addition, in newborns, a runny nose is of a physiological nature, so there is no need for the procedure. By about 3 months, the narrowed nasal passages will widen and the problem will disappear without outside intervention.
