About DECON NASAL DROPS

DECON NASAL DROPS is used in the treatment of nasal congestion in children. Nasal congestion /stuffy nose can be defined as the swelling of the tissue lining due to the inflammation of the blood vessels inside the nose. This causes difficulty for your child in breathing. DECON NASAL DROPS helps provide relief from stuffy noses caused by various allergic reactions in children. It helps to relieve discomfort and unpleasant symptoms, like blocked/runny nose, that occur due to allergic conditions, cold and flu-like symptoms, and hay fever.

DECON NASAL DROPS contains Xylometazoline belonging to the class of 'decongestants'. It works by narrowing the blood vessels (vasoconstriction) and thus provides temporary relief from nasal congestion and blockage. This helps your child to breathe more easily.
