Can Otrivin Nasal Spray Be Used Frequently For Blocked Nose During Pregnancy?
I am pregnant and its exactly 60 days. I have been using otrivin nasal spary -Xylometazoline for quite a month, now i got adict to the spray. I dont have cold or cough, still my nose blocks evry 6 hours and i need to spray otrivin to release my blocked nose. I tried shifting to Saline nasal sprays, but no use. I even came to know these sprays will cause rebound inflammation effect . Is it safe to use this spray ?. If not please give me some suggestions on how to stop this spray?. Also when my nose is blocked i completely feel unrest and could not breathe throw mouth, specially nights i cant sleep. Also I am worried about the fetel growth and will this affect the baby? Suggest me a solution.

Hello, avoid nasal spray as much as possible and take steam inhalation three to four times a day.
If not controlled then take tablet cetrizine and azithromycin to avoid infection.
