It can be frustrating when a nasal spray doesn't relieve your blocked nose. Since the spray you used contains xylometazoline, which is a decongestant meant for short-term relief, it’s important not to use it for more than 3 consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion.
If you want, I can explain how to use saline rinses or other home remedies safely. Meanwhile, consulting an ENT doctor would be the best next step.To narrow down potential causes, we will need some more information.I understand that you're experiencing a cold and a blocked nose and that a nasal spray hasn't provided relief. Please tell me your age and gender.
