Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is not enough data that Otrivin harms the fetus. If it is taken as nasal spray the systemic absorption is very low and it can be taken if benefits are greater than risks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
