Frequently asked questions about Xylometazoline
Q. Can I give Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?
Do not give Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops to your child for more than 10 consecutive days as it may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". Also, make sure not to stop the medicine suddenly as doing so can cause ‘‘rebound congestion'’ in your child. Therefore, it is advised to follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
Q. What if I give too much of Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?
An overdose of Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops can cause severe dizziness, perspiration, severely lowered body temperature, headache, bradycardia (low heart rate), hypertension, respiratory depression, coma, and convulsions. It may even cause high blood pressure followed by a fall in blood pressure. Moreover, children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, so it is advised that you reach out to your child’s doctor immediately if this happens.
Q. How to use Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops in my child?
Before using Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops, ask your child to clear the nose by blowing gently. Ask your child to lay down and lookup. Tilt your child’s head back as far as comfortable, or if lying on a bed, keep the head over the side. Open the cap of the medicine container and without touching the nozzle to the nose, apply the medicine into each nostril. Ask your child to keep the head tilted back for a short time as that will allow the drops to spread throughout the nose. Replace the cap right after use. If the drop completely misses the nose, administer the drop again. If any part of the drop gets into the nose, do not administer the drop again. Repeat for the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap right after use. To avoid the possible spread of infection, the bottle should only be used by one person.
Q. When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
Call your child’s doctor if your child is bothered by signs such as insomnia, dizziness, tremor, irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after the use of Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops.
Q. Can other medicines be given at the same time as Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops?
Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops can sometimes interact with other medicines or substances. Tell your doctor about any other medicines your child is taking before starting Zylonasal Kid Nasal Drops. Also, check with your child’s doctor before giving any medicine to your child.
Q. In what position should I make my child sleep when he is having a stuffy nose?
To sleep with a stuffy nose, make your child lie on his back with a pillow to help the mucus drain out. Abstain your child from sleeping on the side position since it may increase the congestion in one or both nostrils.
