Otrivin O 0.05% Nasal Spray Health Feed

Dear lybrate-user
nasal spray/drops containing oxymetazoline (naselin) or xylometazoline should be used only for a week or two which can cause rhinitis medica mentosa (rebound congestion). If you are having this nasal blockage for a few months /weeks it could be due to deviated nasal septum (i.e. Bent nasal bone from inside) or inferior turbinate hypertrophy commonly but other causes should also be ruled out.
Try flomist nasal spray 1puff twice daily
tab. Allegra-m 1 tablet at bedtim...more

Hi lybrate-user,
it's viral infection so continue cetirizine syp and wikoryl as it will take 3to4 days more to recover.
If kid is active and playful then nothing to worry.

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.

If you use this for long term you will develop rhinitis medicamentosa.

Please do not use any nasal drops.It is addictive.If you do not have any blocking of the nose then where is the need to use nasal drops.

You can use Otrivin S saline drops. Otrivin (Xylometazoline) is not indicated as it causes dryness and rebound increase in nose block with kids.

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

Stop using Otrivin drops , use Fluticasome nasal spray one spray in each nose daily in the morning. It takes 1 week to take effect. Also see a ENT Surgeon to rule out if you have DNS

Hi lybrate-user, it is not advisable to use oxymetazoline for such a long time. You should stop using it.
