Hello mam, wanna clarify one thing regarding usage of nasal drops. You shud not use those continuously as it may result in a medical complication. You need evaluation for your nose blockage problem. May be cos of allergy, or deviated nasal septum. Like these, many conditions are there .which are responsible for your nasal blockage.

To keep your nasal passages moist, you can:
use a humidifier or vaporizer.
Take long showers or breathe in steam from a pot of warm (but not too hot) water.
Drink lots of fluids. Use a nasal saline spray. Try a neti pot, nasal irrigator, or bulb syringe. Place a warm, wet towel on your face..

Kindly use ortrivin containing sodium chloride for nasal blockage.
Do not use otrivin containing xylometazoline or any other content.
Otrivin s (nasal saline drops) can be used again and again for nasal blockage/mild cough/respiratory sounds/snorring.
It is salt water and safe in infants even if used again and again.
Don't place drops in both nose simultaneously as this will irritate the child as they breath from nose primarily. First place 2 drops in blocked nose and after 5-10 ...more

Hi Mr. lybrate-user. Otrivin can cause rebound nasal congestion -better to avoid or use for very short duration only. Fif nasal blockage is recurrent kindly get ent evaluation done froman ent specialist in your area. Thank you.

Otrivin nose drops are not recommended for longer duration you need to visit ent specialist in person so exact cause of obstruction is know accordingly can get treatment. In current covid situation you can have teleconsultation. Hope answer is helpful.

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.

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.
