Otrivin nasal drops are used to relieve nasal congestion in children and help clear mucus. Safe usage requires a doctor's consultation. Parents should avoid self-prescribing and administering the medication without a doctor's prescription.

When children experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, rhinitis, or dry nose, many parents often buy nasal drops and use them indiscriminately on their children. However, using nasal drops incorrectly for children is extremely dangerous and can even affect their cardiovascular health, blood pressure, and cognitive development.
