How should I apply Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops to my child?

Before applying Nozek P 0.05% Nasal Drops: First, ask your child to clear their nose by blowing gently. Then, have them lie down and raise their head slightly (looking up or tilting the head back in a comfortable position). For children on a bed, ensure their head is over the side. Open the medicine bottle's cap and avoid touching the nozzle to the nose. Apply the drops into each nostril without direct contact with the nozzle. Hold the child’s head tilted back for a short period, allowing the drops to spread throughout the nose. After use, replace the cap right away. If the entire drop misses the nose, administer it again. If any part of the drop enters the nose, do not repeat administration. Repeat on the other nostril. Before replacing the cap, clean and dry the nozzle. To avoid potential infection spread, only one person should use this bottle.
