Cold and Nasal congestion

Question

Asked for Female, 0 Years

Hi, My 3-month-old daughter is suffering from a cold and nasal congestion. There’s no runny nose, but there’s noise while breathing. The doctor has prescribed Xyloflo nasal drops (1 drop in each nostril, morning and evening) and Delcon drops (10 drops, three times a day). Are these medications safe?
