Hi Doctor

Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
I suggest you not to use otrivin as it contains Xylometazoline or Oxymetazoline drug which is not indicated in your kid's age. It can result in rebound stuffy nose.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
