Frequently asked questions
Can I give Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?
Do not administer Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to your child for more than 10 consecutive days, as it may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". It is also important to avoid abruptly stopping the medication, as this could cause 'rebound congestion' in your child. It is recommended to strictly adhere to the prescribed dosage schedule.
What if I give too much of Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?
An overdose of Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops can lead to severe dizziness, sweating, a significantly lowered body temperature, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), high blood pressure, respiratory depression, coma, and convulsions. Additionally, children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults, so it is strongly advised that you contact your child's doctor immediately if this occurs.
How to use Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops in my child?
Before using Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops, ask your child to clear their nose by blowing gently. Have them lie down and look up. Tilt their 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. Have your child hold their head tilted back for a short time to allow the drops to spread throughout the nose. Replace the cap right after use. If the drop completely misses the nose, administer it again. If any part of the drop gets into the nose, do not administer it again. Repeat for the other nostril. Clean and dry the nozzle before replacing the cap right after use. To avoid possible infection spread, the bottle should only be used by one person.
When should I call my child’s doctor right away?
Call your child's doctor immediately if they experience symptoms such as insomnia, dizziness, tremor, irregular heartbeat, or elevated blood pressure after using Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops?
Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops may interact with other medications or substances. It is vital to inform your child's doctor about all other medications they are taking before starting Etolin -P 0.05% Nasal Drops, and please consult with your child's doctor before administering any medication to your child.
In what position should I make my child sleep when he is having a stuffy nose?
To help mucus drain, ensure your child sleeps in the back position and use a pillow to support their head. Avoid letting them sleep on their side as this could worsen congestion in one or both nostrils.
