STOP using otrivin IMMEDIATELY
Ideally it has to be used only for 3 to 5 days using it for longer will cause dependence.
Try to avoid any drops at the night
Instead do steam inhalation before sleeping and go to bed
Even then you are having blocked feeling use “normal saline nasal drops” 2drops before sleeping
This should work
Next Steps
Stop otrivin drops ASAP
