Medicine Baby Quiz | Can nasal drops be used for a long time?

Nasal congestion is one of the common symptoms that bothers many patients. In this regard, the scientific use of nasal drops to treat nasal congestion can achieve good results, but if used incorrectly or abused, drug-induced rhinitis is likely to occur. There are three main types of nasal drops: vasoconstrictors, hormone nasal drops, and nasal mucosal lubricants. Among them, vasoconstrictor nasal drops are especially not suitable for long-term use, because they can keep the nasal mucosal blood vessels in a state of contraction, leading to vasoconstriction and relaxation dysfunction, easily causing local mucosal tissue hyperplasia, and may also damage the ciliary structure of the nasal mucosa, causing drug-induced inflammation in the nasal cavity under repeated stimulation, thereby aggravating the condition.
