Long term usage of decongestant nasal drops such as Otrivin leads to condition known as rhinitis medicamentosa. In this condition there will be swelling of the structures inside your nose especially the inferior turbinate. Initially you need to be treated with oral steroid tablets along with steroid nasal sprays. Slowly you need to reduce the quantity of Otrivin you are using. In some cases reduction of inferior turbinate size by surgical methods is helpful to withdraw Otrivin use
