I am 4 month pregnant and I was using otrivin since a year. Someone told me to stop it as it's n't healthy for my baby. I was addicted to it and cannot even sleep without using it. Please tell me how can I cure my block nose so that I can sleep. Also had otrivin have caused anything to my child? I am scared. How can I check that my baby is safe?

There are no studies that have looked at use of xylometazoline during pregnancy. Although, there is low absorption of xylometazoline into the bloodstream after using otrivine nasal spray, it is usually not recommended for use during pregnancy. So meet ent surgeon to get your treatment.
