“Are saline drops safe for babies?”
The doctor has recommended us to get saline drops for my child. However, I'm a little reluctant to use these on my daughter. Are there any risks involved that we should be aware of?

Yes
Saline drops are very safe. Of course, make sure that the bottle is not expired. Over-the-counter saline drops typically have a preservative in the solution. Also, I would recommend sanitize in the tip of the bottle prior to and after using the drops in the child's nose so as not to contaminate the bottle or anyone else who may come in contact with this.
They are completly safe for as long they don’t become contaminated with bacteria
Yes
