Benefits of Xylox Paed 0.05% Nasal Spray for your child
In Treatment of Nasal congestion (blocked nose)
Children constantly catch common colds and also suffer from hay fever or allergic rhinitis. A typical symptom of all these is nasal congestion. Xylox Paed 0.05% Nasal Spray helps relieve nasal congestion by contracting and narrowing down the blood vessels in the linings of the nasal passages. This decreases blood flow into the linings of the nose and sinuses, which reduces swelling and the feeling of congestion. It should be used as prescribed and should not be used for more than seven days in a row (preferably less). Talk to your child’s doctor if the symptoms do not improve.
