In some patients, symptom relief occurs 12 hours after the first dose of Nasonex, but the full benefits of treatment may not be visible until 2 days after taking the medicine. According to some sources, full relief can be felt, however, up to 2 weeks after the start of treatment. Such effects can be expected with registered indications for the use of Nasonex: hay fever and nasal polyps. Tantum Verde can be used in children under 6 years in the scheme: 1 dose of the drug (spray) per 4 kg of body weight, from 2 to 6 times a day. Regardless of body weight, do not exceed 4 doses at a time. However, the manufacturer warns that the drug contains benzyl alcohol, which can cause allergic reactions and mild local irritation. The administration of benzyl alcohol to young children is associated with the risk of serious side effects, including respiratory disorders (so-called "gasping syndrome"). This applies mainly to newborns, but for the utmost caution - since the son has breathing problems - I would suggest asking the doctor if this drug has not been used in the child before. I enclose additional information about the drugs that interest you. Nasonex is a prescription drug that can be booked on GdziePoLek and picked up stationary upon presentation of a prescription, and Tantum verde can also be purchased online: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/51631/nasonex-aerozol/apteki/w-warszawie https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/77403/tantum-verde-aerozol/apteki/w-warszawie
