Avoid excessive nasal decongestant for more than 5 days. Rhinitis medicamentosa (RM), also known as rebound rhinitis, is a condition characterized by nasal congestion that is triggered by the overuse of topical vasoconstrictive medications, most notably intranasal decongestants.

Hi lybrate-user, Xylometazoline nasal spray is not recommended for long-term use. X-ray PNS has to do to assess for sinusitis. Permanent solution for your allergy is to avoid triggers like dust, cold air etc.; For that allergy sensitivity panel has to do to identify. Surgical options for your DNS also should be considered.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, you certainly have nasal allergy. Otrivin is not the drug of choice. As a matter of fact it has many short term and long term side effects and now out oif favour drug. You should see an ent or allergy specialist who will prescribe the right drug for you.
