Xylometazoline is a decongestant medicines which needs to be used with precautions. You should not cross recommended dosage as it can do permanent damage to our nasal mucosa. Unless very symptomatic don't use four times daily and also don't use it after consecutive five days
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
