You are having rhinitis medicamentosa. It is due to indiscriminate use of otrivin drops. Read about it. Schedule an online consult for an optimum solution. Otherwise the problem can worsen and cause more discomfort.

Pregnancy and otherwise, any dependence on medicine for day to day affairs is not at all advisable. The cause of blocked noise should be ascertained first. For that it is important to know your medical history and cause of stress if any. If you like you can contact me for detailed discussion and advice.

Hi. It looks like you have an eustachian tubal block, for which you need to take nasal decongestant medication along with steam inhalation through the nose.

Yes, it;s an addiction. To get rid of addiction, the standard and most successful method is stop it abruptly. You will have difficulty to sleep. So take a brisk walk for 20 min or a hot water bath to induce sleep. Within a week, you will get de-addicted. Alternately, you can reduce the amount day by day. But it's not very effective method.

Ist of all stop otrivin nasal drops bcz on prolonged use it causes rebound process(rhinitis medicamentosa) causing persistent nasal obstruction for which the drug was used. So stop it immediately and start steroid nasal spray(ezicas-f) 2 puffs twice a day for 2 weeks.
