Xylometazoline nasal for Nasal Congestion "My nose feels like it’s collapsed and breathing is difficult, so thought I would try Otrivin. Very fast relief of congestion, but some discomfort. When blowing my nose the next day (1 day of use), there was blood on the tissue. On the second day of using it, my nose bled fully, without blowing my nose. Have stopped using since, and my nose is no longer bleeding and feels blocked again. For reference: My bottle contained xylometazoline and hydrochloride."

For Nasal Congestion "5 min after using this product, I had a horrible bitter taste at the back of my throat that lasted hours. I also felt like I had liquid at the back of my throat. Felt very uncomfortable all night and still felt stuffed up after all that. I do not recommend this product."

Xylometazoline nasal "Caused severe nosebleeds and dried out nose. It also caused (sorry to be horrid) large boogers which were causing more discomfort and blockages. I will be reverting back to Sudafed spray."
