Hi Dr -will i can addicted for the use of counter decongestant spray?

Over the counter decongestant sprays are meant to be used for short term only. They are effective at relieving congestion from colds and flu for the short term, but should not be used for more than 3 days at a time. Using them longer can make you dependent on them for curing your congestion. Nasal irrigation with saline solution is safe and effective for every day use. You can use the OTC decongestant spray to open up your nasal passages and then do a sinus rinse to flush away excess mucus and pathogens.
