Generally considered safe for all ages, including newborns. Use as directed on the package. For infants, apply a few drops into each nostril; for older children, can use as a spray. Replace bottle per package instructions to maintain hygiene. Consult a healthcare provider for persistent congestion lasting more than a few days.
