Why do I experience nasal congestion every two hours despite using Otrivin spray and taking Levocet M daily?
Asked by Male, 31 · 23 days ago
Nasal congestion returning every few hours can occur from overuse of decongestant sprays, which can make the nose feel even more blocked once the effect wears off. Ongoing allergy, sinus swelling, or structural issues in the nose may also contribute. Gradually limiting spray use and consulting an ENT specialist would help identify the cause.
