What happens if I use Otrivine for more than 7 days?

Thank you Vik. Finally a comprehensive answer on why should you not use it too long and what happens

[@rhythmdubey6847]

thank you . was much needed . i used to spray it about twice or thrice daily and it almost became a habit . it was very hard to stop it but stopping this was worth it . all those trying to get rid of this , try this : use steam for about 5 minutes , walk or run or do any physical exercise and do pranayam ( breathing exercise ). i helps a lot

I literally can't breath through my nose without these.

[@alexguest9937]

When I was a child of about 6 years my nose was broken in a school playground accident. The teachers just gave my sympathy and told me to carry on. Didn't even get sent home. They hadn't realised it was broken. I didn't realise it was broken until I was about 30 when I worked out that the restriction in my left nostril was matched by a bony lump in my right nostril. Because my septum had been broken, had shifted over at the base and not been set back in place when I was 6. I didn't have a problem until I was 20 when I had difficulty sleeping. Lying on my left side, my right nostril opened - bliss. Lying on my right side, my restricted left nostril would refuse to open. And I CANNOT sleep through my mouth. So I started to use Otrivine as the adverts had started playing on the TV. Instant relief from the symptoms. I used one puff up each nostril every night before bed for THIRTY TWO YEARS, WITHOUT SIDE EFFECT. The Otrivine didn't reduce in strength and I could breathe perfectly well during the day. However, last year I started to suffer from a nasal constriction in the back of my head whilst sleeping. Just dropping off to sleep my nasal muscles would relax and the back of my nasal passage would turn into a whoopee cushion! The noise jerking me back from the point of sleep every time, like Chinese sleep torture! On seeing the doctor, they once again tried to get me to use fluticasone, which I have tried before (for weeks) and is UUUUUUUUSELESSSS. And they inevitably put my problem down to rhinitus medicamentosa you mention "STOP TAKING THE OTRIVINE, IT CAUSES SWELLING!" they kept saying. Well, I've now stopped taking the Otrivine, and my nasal problem is back to where it was when I started taking it, 32 years ago, although the "whoopee cushion effect" does seem to have largely gone (thankfully). Now I have no choice but to manage the original problem of restricted capacity in the left nostril by just PUTTING UP WITH IT! Yeah, thanks NHS (NOT). I need a nasal reconstruction to put the septum back to the right place, so I can once again breathe freely in BOTH nostrils, but you won't prescribe it, and keep fobbing me off with useless fluticasone. And putting the problem down to me being stupid and causing swelling in the first place with the Otrivine, which is where you still think the problem is. But that is NOT CORRECT. YOU WON'T LISTEN. Problem NOT solved by stopping using Otrivine - which I still have to use once a while when my nose just refuses to open altogether for hours on end. VERY FRUSTRATING.

[@suserman7775]

I used sudafed sprays for about 7 years and got rid of the problem by having turbinate reduction and septoplasty. Huge difference in breathing. Now I only get occasional mild congestion. So mild that I know I can take the spray one day and don't need it again for weeks or months. I deeply regret not having the surgery done sooner. My surgeon never pointed out any risk to having my septum be too oxygen deficient. After surgery my septum healed in the usual amount of time.

Do one nasal cavity at a time. So spray one cavity, leave the other. The untreated side will be stuffy for a few days but you’ll be able to breathe through the one you’re spraying. Do that for as long as it takes, once that side clears up, leave the other side and you’ll be fine. Within a few days the one will clear up, then go on to the next. I was addicted for years, 10+ pumps a day. Horrible.

I'm someone who's in their early teens and addicted to otrivin (paediatric as it works just fine). I started using it since i was 7-8 years old, recently about 5-6 months ago my cold problem got a bit better and i stopped using it. However three months ago i got a severe cold (which is on going today as well, consulted many doctors but no better results) and one doctor prescribed otrivin, didn't specify how long to be used for or anything. So i have been using it everyday nonstop since then. Yesterday after getting yelled at by my ENT that i can have heart attacks and diseases as it will grow double in size i was forced to stop using it. Last night was truly the worst night of my life, couldn't sleep, was constantly disturbed. Finally at 5 am i decided to put one drop of otrivin, it didn't work. Same at 12 pm it stopped working as quickly as it used to for me just because i didn't use it as soon as it was blocked. I'm getting short of breath and have use my nose, it was so bad i got a fever. I have no idea what i can do it's like otrivin was my life support, if anyone knows anything about this please inform. Plus it's paediatric so it shouldnt be as bad as the adult one? All I want is for my cold to recover and so i can leave it on my own accord like i did six months ago, is it save to use it for let's say 2-3 more weeks? Lesser doses?

Jesus Christ you have scared the hell out of me. First time using nose sprays and now I have bad anxiety. I have a cold right now and because I have a deviated septum it makes it 10000x worse. Sudafed literally cleared my airways I’ve never felt such a clear nose before one side is normally blocked but after taking this nose spray it feels amazing I can breathe through both nostrils. I went to a specialist and he said to me. Imagine if you go to walk across the road and a big truck is blocking your way, this is your nose. He said I needed surgery. I went and KZbind the operation and it totally put me off. Never had a operation in my life. Is there something you can do to naturally cure it?

I used to use Xylometazoline drops very often for years since I was a teen. I've got addicted and it didn't unblock my nose for longer than a short while. Fortunately, I didn't develop any adhesion or perforation. I've managed to get off of it by using saline solution instead of drops to keep my nose lining from getting dry. It was super hard to stop using Xylometazoline, but it was worth it! Now, when my nose is congested, I use saline solution as drops or rinse my sinuses and do massages/exercises to drain sinuses showed by motivationaldoc :) not so convenient and spectacular as decongestant sprays, but natural and really helpful :)

That was a very kind thing to do. Thank you very much! I'm saving all of these to buy stuff to give away for my Newsletter subscribers. Again, so kind.
