Otrivin is not a solution for long standing block. It can harm you if you use in daily. You need to do an X-ray of PNS and come back with Xray. Also, start steam inhalation with plane water.

Dear Lybrateuser, -Get x- ray Paranasal sinuses done to rule out any problem like a polyp or a deviated nasal septum or a sinus infection leading to your blockage of one side nose, can be due to allergy also
- avoid regular use of any drops like otrivin for more than 2-3 days as it can weaken the mucosa of the nose leading to chronic infection
- do steam inhalation 2-3 times a day
- instill normal saline nasal drops 3 drops thrice a day in the nostril

Please stop using otrivin, it is an addictive substance. Causes a disease called rhinitis medicamentosa. Please start taking nasal saline sprays and steam or brisk walk prior to sleep. Both these will reduce the nasal congrestion and help you sleep well.
All the best.
