So yeah... about a month ago I tried some over the counter nose spray which contains the active ingrediant oxymetazoline to relieve nasal congestion. The thing is, my nose is almost always a little stuff, particularly on my right side. So I tried this stuff and it worked GREAT. I kept using it despite the package saying to only use it for 3 days

. So now basically if I don't use it I get REALLY congested(rebound congestion), I can actually see the walls inside my nose plugging up the holes.

I just got some saline nose spray today to see if that did anything, but there was no effect. I will probably see a doctor next week to see if I have some problem with my nose, but does anyone else have any recommendations for things to take in the mean time?
