Saline spray for nasal congestion in infants and toddlers
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests whether an isotonic saline (salt water) spray can safely relieve nasal congestion (stuffy or blocked nose) in babies and young children with colds, flu, allergies, or sinus inflammation. It aims to see if this simple, drug-free option helps symptoms like a blocked or runny nose.
