The medicines given by your pediatrician are generally safe. However it is better not to continue otrivin mini nasal drops for more than 5 days. It may contain nasal constrictor medicine which may damage the nasal mucosa when used for long period; further it can also increase the blood pressure and may cause palpitation.
