Frequently asked questions
Can I give Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child for an extended period if they experience recurring nasal congestion?
It is essential not to administer Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops to your child for more than 10 consecutive days, as this may lead to complications such as atrophic rhinitis. Additionally, abrupt discontinuation can cause rebound congestion. It is crucial to adhere to the prescribed dosing schedule.
What should I do if my child accidentally takes too much Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
An overdose of Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops can cause severe symptoms, including dizziness, sweating, significantly lowered body temperature, headache, bradycardia (low heart rate), hypertension, respiratory depression, coma, and convulsions. In children, who are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if this occurs.
How do I use Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops correctly in my child?
Before administering the drops, have your child gently blow their nose to clear any mucus. Then, ask them to lie down and look up. Tilt their head back as far as comfortably possible or, if lying on a bed, keep their head over the side. Open the cap of the medicine container and carefully apply one drop into each nostril without touching the nozzle to the nose. Have your child hold their head tilted back for a short time to allow the drops to spread throughout the nasal passage. Replace the cap after use. If the drop misses the nose, administer it again. If any part of the drop enters the nose, do not re-administer. Repeat for the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap. To prevent infection, ensure only one person uses the bottle.
When should I contact my child's doctor immediately?
Call your child's doctor if they experience symptoms such as insomnia, dizziness, tremor, irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after using Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops.
Can other medications be given simultaneously with Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops may interact with other medications or substances. Inform your doctor about any other medications your child is taking before starting Edycold P 0.05% Nasal Drops. Additionally, consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication to them.
What position should my child sleep in when experiencing nasal congestion?
To alleviate stuffiness, have your child lie on their back with a pillow to help the mucus drain out. Avoid having them sleep on their side as it may worsen congestion in one or both nostrils.
