Brief Answer:
Kindly mention the type of otrinoz
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. I need to know the type of otrinoz nasal drops which your daughter has consumed. It's available in two forms: Saline or xylometazoline.
Otrinoz Saline solution is not harmful and will not lead to any side effects in the dose which she has accidentally ingested.
Xylometazoline otrinoz nasal solution is not safe for oral consumption and needs immediate pediatric clinical assessment to rule out central nervous system depression or cardiovascular system dysfunction. So, take her to ER for the needful. Timely management is in the best interest of child.
Hopefully it will be of interest.
Take care

Thanks for your reply. The components have xylometazoline. So, I would advise you to visit an ER for her complete evaluation. Do not worry. It's just to rule out the rare side effect of central nervous system depression and cardiovascular dysfunction. If present, they can be easily managed in a hospital.
