Otrivin (or other topical nasal decongestant) is not a very good medicine. I know it gives immediate relief but on long term use it has side effect (rhinitis medicamentosa) leading to persistent nasal obstruction for which it is used.

Exact diagnosis or disorder connected with nose like allergy, nasal defect etc must be made on consulting good ent specialist whenever available. Some tests like nasal endoscopy may be necessary. Allergic agent like dust, change of wealthe, pollution, domestic pet animals etc is to be explored. Sinerest tablet may give temporary relief. Sprays and nasal drops only temporarily. Constant use will be habit forming try breathing exercises of yoga.
