When nose drops become harmful

According to the specialist, drops bring temporary relief, but do not eliminate the cause nasal congestion.

At the same time, people often exceed the dose and duration of drug use. Usually it is 5-7 days, but patients do not stop using the drops after this period.

“As a result, the vascular wall becomes tolerant to them, persistent congestion of the nasal concha develops. Medicinal rhinitis occurs – a closed circle, when nasal congestion becomes even more pronounced, and to facilitate breathing, more and more drops are needed, which increase nasal congestion. Such a problem is difficult to treat and often requires surgical intervention,” the doctor added.

He noted that if nasal congestion does not go away within 5-7 days, you should consult a doctor.
