U should not use otrivin nasal drops bcz on long term use causes side effect in form of rebound phenomenon called rhinitis medicamentosa that means persistent nasal block for which it is used. Instead of that use flomist nasal spray twice a day for 2 weeks and steam inhalation also twice a day.

Hi lybrate-user. I understand your problem. But I would like to tell you this is absolutely normal for boys. This is very natural. When ever you get sexually aroused, this fluid is going to come out from your penis. It is called preseminal fluid.
