Nose and throat
My nose has been blocked for the past few months. I use Otrinoz nasal drops almost everyday because of it. My throat has been sore for the past few days. About two months ago I was prescribed with moxclav for cold but it caused stomach problems. My nose block never goes. I gargled with betadine for temporary relief of throat. Persistant cough.

Otrivin over use will lead to a condition known as rhinitis medicamentosa. It is condition where in there will be rebound congestion because of drops use. Because of chronic mouth breathing you might be developing recurrent throat infection.
Treatment needs to be given so that you can slowly withdraw Otrivin
