Xylometazoline nasal "Otrivin gave me instant relief of nasal congestion. Like 1-2 minutes. Stinging sensation and reduce at 10 minutes. Bad taste once it passes the throat. For me, the benefit outweighs the side effects."

Xylometazoline nasal "Not suitable for allergy congestion, for example, dust. The drug has a rebound effect, immediate relief at first followed by a worse condition hours later. The more you take, the more you will need."
