ANSWER : APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN OLDER THAN 6 YEARS [because pediatricians do not recommend decongestant or formulations containing antihistamine in children under six and advise caution between six and 12 years, "There is no evidence that these drugs alleviate nasal symptoms and they can cause adverse effects such as drowsiness or gastrointestinal upset. Serious harm, such as convulsions, rapid heart rate, and death have been linked to decongestant use in very young children."]
