Can I take Drixoral if I am breastfeeding (6 month old baby)? The sinus rinse does not help at all. Thank you

Hello and thank you for your question :)
When you mention Drixoral, you are talking about the oxymetazoline nasal spray USP 0.05%, right?
If so, although little information is available during breastfeeding, the physico-chemical data of the product make it unlikely that there will be an impact on the child.
One note, however: I recommend that you do not use this product for more than 3 days as longer use may create rebound congestion upon discontinuation. In other words, if you want to temporarily treat a cold for 2-3 days that's fine, but to treat seasonal allergies for example, so longer term, other options are better.
I hope this helps a little :)
Have a nice day!
Emmanuelle
