Chronic rebound congestion

Question

Asked for Male, 21 Years

I have been over using over the counter decongestant sprays now for over a year and as a result have serious problems with congestion I have gone cold turkey and stopped using the sprays now for about 1 week but if anything my problem is getting worse I’m getting a lot of dark yellow mucus very irritable nasal passages and more severe congestion. What sort of recovery time am I looking at if any and could I have caused any long term serious damage abusing the sprays ? Thanks

Over the counter medication is a bad idea. U need to show it to ur near by ENT doctor . Get ur self treated. The change in weather has also increased the problem. Kindly show it to the concerned doctor.
