Otrivin 0.025% Nasal Drops Health Feed

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

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.

Please Use drop Maximum for 10 days. Otherwise you will suffer from rhinitis medicamentosa. If you have HTN then use saline nasal drop as xylometazoline drop can raise your BP.

For permenant solution first you check up for weather any nasal polyp or sinusitis, and then treatment based on that drop only temperory solution for day to day trouble relief,
first check up then treatment.

Depends I the concentration of the xylometazoline and how many times have given it. If given once or twice no harm. If given repeatedly can cause problems.

Dear Lybrate user, xylometazoline and oxymetazoline are almost same. Both are used to dilate the blood vessels in the nose to remove the nasal block as occurs in cold and allergy. However, the oxymetazoline is used in children who cannot use the xylometazoline.

Try oral antihistamine and apply ointment in nose to get deaddicted with otrivin you gave to determine youself do alom vilom for better air movements.

Hi take shwas kuthar ras twice a day....pranacharya asthamin capsule 1-1 twice a day...and pranacharya shwas vikarasav 2-2 tsf twice a day...1-1 drop of cow ghee in both nostrils at night time before sleep....take hot water steam....take pranacharya allergin capsule 1-1 cap twice a day with warm water...

Yes this is very harmful because you are using the side effect of the medicine for opening the nose, this causes rhinitis medicamentosa which is no response of the medicines to nose mucosa.

It should not be used for a prolonged period of time (more than 2 weeks) Because it causes rebound process leading to persistent nasal obstruction called rhinitis medicamentosa.
