Otrivin should not be taken for more than 5 days. Continuous use of it causes a condition called Rhinitis medicamentosa which is the rebound nasal congestion and nasal block, You should stop using such medication and do proper consult and follow advice.

Dear lybrate-user, first of all you should have used otrivin drops for only 5 days and you have chronic rhino sinusitus which is responsible for your facial pain which is why you should get a ct scan pns and consult a good ent surgeon. Yours sincerely.

Note your symptoms. Avoid use of otrivin. Visit an ent and let us suggest treatment plan. After that if there is no improvement you can consider surgery.
But that too after evaluating. There is a plan to follow for treatment of sinusitis.

I'm 33 years male from delhi one year back I had done deviated nasal septum surgery. I was suffering left side nose blocked problem after surgery my left nose is open but during sleep one side nose is closed or left side or is right side and bcoz of that I can't sleep deeply. I had use all nasal spray for short time and all anti histamine but I didn't got any benefit. I had talk to ENT Dr. about nasal septoplasty but they said to me is not hundred percent solution of my problem bcoz mostly nasal surgery are bound again. I am specially feel that problem in cold season or in air conditioner in warm season. I m very much desperate to my condition. L am before sleep always carry a water bottle near to my bed with me for dry mouth. Bcuz one side nose blocked I breathing through mouth and I wake-up between sleep and drinking water 4 to 5 times. That's happening with me since 5 years. Plzz suggest me what I do next for my nasal congestion during sleep?

You may be suffering from allergic rhinitis or DNS or nasal polyp. So for proper diagnosis you need to visit to a doctor, so the accurate differentiation is made.
After recording your whole case taking, the best possible medication will be started as soon as possible.
So if possible do visit the clinic or book an online appointment.
Till then take steam inhalation, keep yourself warm, take plenty of water.
For more queries, contact us.
