Brief Answer:

No need to worry.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thanks for the follow-up.

There is no harm if you will put the oral drop in nose apart from little irritability.

The thing is that when you will give oral drops in the nose it will not work effectively. So don't worry.

Take care

Dr Pradeep Kumar
