Frequently asked questions
Can I give Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops to my child continuously for more than 2 weeks if he has on and off nasal congestion?
Do not administer Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops for more than 10 consecutive days as it may lead to complications such as "atrophic rhinitis". Additionally, do not abruptly stop using the medicine as this can cause "rebound congestion" in your child. It is crucial to follow the prescribed dosing schedule.
What if I give too much of Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops to my child by mistake?
An overdose of Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops can lead to severe dizziness, perspiration, a low body temperature, headache, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypertension (high blood pressure), respiratory depression (difficulty breathing), coma, and convulsions. Furthermore, children are more sensitive to toxicity than adults. Therefore, it is recommended that you seek immediate medical attention from your child's doctor if this occurs.
How to use Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops in my child?
Before administering Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops, ask your child to clear their nose by gently blowing. Then, have your child lie down and look upwards. 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 medication into each nostril. Allow the drops to spread throughout the nose by keeping the head tilted back for a short time. Replace the cap immediately after use. If the drop misses the nose completely, administer it again. If any part of the drop enters the nose, do not administer another dose. Repeat for the other nostril. Before applying the next dose, make sure to clean and dry the nozzle. Only one person should use this bottle to avoid spreading infection.
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, an irregular heartbeat, or high blood pressure after using Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops.
Can other medicines be given at the same time as Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops?
It's important to inform your child’s doctor about any other medications or substances your child is taking before starting Xylomectin-P Nasal Drops. Consulting with your child's doctor before administering any medicine is recommended.
In what position should I make my child sleep when he is having a stuffy nose?
To allow mucus drainage, have your child lie on their back with a pillow under their head. Avoid sleeping on the side since this may increase congestion in one or both nostrils.
