Drink a lot of hot beverages.
Stay hydrated.
Sit a warm, wet towel on your face. It may relieve discomfort and open your nasal passages.
Prop yourself up. At night, lie on a couple of pillows. Keeping your head elevated may make breathing more comfortable.
Take steam before sleep.

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

Do not use otrivin for morethan 5 days. You ll get a disease called rhinitis medicamentosa if used for longer duration. Start using topical steroid nasal spray.

You can safely take the nasal drop without any concern whatsoever. Covid-19 vaccines do not usually interact with medications.

Mucolite sr capsule is best! twice daily for 5 days. Do not take otrivin. Use nasoclear which will cleanse the passage only. Though not good relief, it is safe for now. Also use karvol plus steam inhalation capsules and do steam inhale with water everyday.

No. Continue otrivin for 5 days and not more than that. Take sinarest 3 times daily for 3 days. Try- holding your nose with hand and swallowing - it will unblock your nose.

No. You need to meet an ENT Specialist immediately as it is probably a nasal or sinus infection causing crusting that is blocking your nostrils. Otrinoz will only worsen your discomfort.
