Hello, I understand your concern
It’s unlikely to cause serious harm if it was just 1–2 small doses and the baby is otherwise well.
Watch for These Symptoms for 24–48 Hours:
Nasal irritation: sneezing, nasal congestion, redness
Difficulty breathing, wheezing
Increased sleepiness or unusual drowsiness
Vomiting or refusal to feed
Irritability or restlessness
Do not attempt to rinse the nose or use any home remedies.
Next Steps
Monitor the baby closely over the next 24 hours.
Keep the baby upright after feeds and ensure normal feeding and urination.
If any abnormal symptoms occur, consult a pediatrician immediately.
Do not reuse Flunact for any purpose unless specifically advised.
Health Tips
Keep all medicines labeled and stored separately.
Always double-check the route before administration (oral vs nasal).
Avoid giving any drops unless prescribed for that specific use.
