For Nasal Congestion "Used Otrivin for a few days, congestion went, but ended up with a sore, burning throat/back of tongue. Had to buy a throat spray to ease the soreness. After 2 days of not using Otrivin, I’m so much better. Just be careful."

For Nasal Congestion "I would rather get an epidural than use this. The burning in the back of my throat was so painful, I would barely swallow. It even was painful in my ears. Perhaps I sprayed too much or tilted my head back more than I should have, but it BURNS. Congestion gone though. Now my nose is just super runny, and I think the back of my throat melted off."

For Nasal Congestion "Used Otrivin for a few days as I suffer from congestion constantly. While it does unblock your nose, it doesn't last very long, and the rebound congestion is awful. My nose is now bloody and sore, large chunks of bloodied mucus pile up, and I have headaches. My nose is worse than it was before! Going to go back to Sudafed, it seems gentler and hasn't caused a bloody nose ever!"
