Hello..... Nasal decongestants should not be used for longer period of time.. You will have rebound effect on stoppage and can cause atrpoic rhinitis.. Instead take steam inhalation twice daily.. If you have nasal poly ,deviated nasal septum get yourself exmained.. Consult ent specialist in nearest hospital.
