It is generally not recommended to give nasal decongestants to newborns. Nasal decongestants can be drying and may cause irritation, which can be especially uncomfortable for a newborn who is already experiencing the symptoms of a cold or allergies. In addition, some nasal decongestants contain ingredients that are not safe for young children, such as pseudoephedrine. If your newborn is experiencing congestion, it is best to speak with a healthcare provider for recommendations on how to relieve their symptoms. They may suggest using saline drops or a humidifier to help clear congestion, or they may recommend other safe and effective treatments.
