A member asked:
Which decongestant i can give to my 1.6 yr old child when flying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Decongestants are not real safe at that age. If it is to help ears pop, any swallowing will help, such as suckers. Antihistamines to "encourage" drowsiness are available otc. Pediacare products are ok.
