Naselin Nasal Spray Health Feed

Hi Mr. lybrate-user. For temporary relief from nasal obstruction you can use these drops for short duration (< 5 days) along with saline nasal drops. For recurrent /persistent nasal obstruction kindly consider ent clinical examination with ent specialist in your area. Thanks.

Hello. Get checked with near by ent to rule out deviated nasal septum /turbihate hypertrophy/polyps etc
even allergy can cause nasal block.

Dear ,
otrivin is a very strong nasal decongestant and generally not to be used lightly. Since you don't mention the reasons for using this, probably we can presume he had some nasal symptoms. I would suggest that you arrange a consultation for your brother with an ent surgeon to get the appropriate treatment for him. In the meanwhile he can use saline nasal drops 2-3 drops 4-5 times a day and also plain steam inhalation 2 -3 times a day.
Best wishes.

Rebound nasal obstruction is side effect of any xylometazoline drop like otrivin.
Stop using this drop.
Instead you can use saline nasal spray.

Stop using nasal drops, as it gives temporary relief. It can be because of sinusitis or polyp nose or DNS or adenoids etc. I need detail of case. In the meanwhile do this
1. Do saline gargles daily (preferably twice).
2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also.
3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of AC. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, When there is temperature difference between two ...more

If the amount is very small ,side effects are unlikely. Although watch your baby carefully. For all practical purposes, use normal saline containing nasal drops only for infants.

STOP using Otrivin! You have developed Rhinitis Medicamentosa due to overuse of Otrivin which should not be used continuously for more that 5 days!
Meet an ENT Surgeon locally to examine you and remedy the situation!

OTRIVIN
Do not use this medication for more than 3 to 5 days in a row. Nasal spray: The usual recommended dose for adults is one to three sprays in each nostril every 8 to 10 hours. The head should be tilted slightly forward while using the spray.

Simple nasal decongestant like otrivin for 5 days will b good enough and you can add one antihistamine like levicetrizine along with it.

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.
