My nose gets blocked as soon as I lay down and it becomes difficult to breath,after some time one nose gets blocked and other becomes free.this continues through out night and even during day.this problem started during my pregnancy and my daughter is now 3.5 years and I still have the problem. I have been using Otrivin or Nasivion daily and cant go anywhere without this. This problem is also accompanied with occasional head ache (1 or 2 times in a month)on one side and stays for 2-3 days

You seem to be suffering from condition because of chronic over use of decongestant nose drops such as Otrivin which is known as rhinitis medicamentosa. You need to withdraw Otrivin use.
