Otrivin should not be use for more days, it causes rebound congestion that is dangerous! proper medications to be started.

Stop using Otrivin drops , use Fluticasome nasal spray one spray in each nose daily in the morning. It takes 1 week to take effect. Also see a ENT Surgeon to rule out if you have DNS

Hi lybrate-user, it is not advisable to use oxymetazoline for such a long time. You should stop using it.
