Is octrivin paediatric drops safe for a 1 month old baby?

Would NEVER use them: Nasal congestion in a 1 mo is a combination of tiny nasal passages & their normal reaction to inhaled irritants. Dust, smoke, fragrance, hair spray, etc. all make infants more congested than adults. Proper care includes washing these out with nasal saline & suctioning the remainder. Chemicals in this drop strangle capillaries & do little if anything for babies. I NEVER use them under 3yr.
