Is otrivin safe to use for my baby.

2018-03-06 03:00:28
Why is otrivin not recommended for children under 2? My baby is 6 months and have been struggling with a cold and blocked nose. I don't find the saline nose spray very helpful and have used otrivin on a rare desperate occasion and found that it worked so much better and my baby had instant relief. Is it unsafe to use otrivin?
