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.

Do not use this medication for more than 3 to 5 days in a row. Nasal spray: The usual recommended dose for adults is one to three sprays in each nostril every 8 to 10 hours. The head should be tilted slightly forward while using the spray.

Hi, good morning. You can use normal saline instead as you have been using nasal spray for many years, you have actually become dependent on this. Homeopathy offers safe and rapid cure not only for your sinusitis, gastric conditions but also for your sulphur and dust allergy. Call in personal chat to discuss and start your treatment.
