Otrivin nasal drops should not be used for more than a week. The cause for your nose block needs to be identified before treatment as Otrivin gives only symptomatic relief. You might be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which is a common type of nose infection. You may need to take antibiotics and anti cold medicines
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
