ANS: C
Decongestant drops are recommended for children, because the number of drops can be controlled precisely. When sprays are used, the amount given is not well controlled. Decongestants cause CNS excitation. Decongestants may be given to children over the age of 4 years. Intranasal decongestants should not be used for longer than 5 days.
