For long standing nasal blockage most important thing is to check for structural abnormalities in nose and if present needs to be corrected surgically. Secondly otrivin nasal drops only gives relief for short period but worsens your problem on long time. You must gradually reduce and stop otrivin completely. If you need surgery than it is not end of treatment but you may need treatment for your allergy after that for long lasting relief.
