Your current regimen of an antibiotic (azithromycin) and an antihistamine-decongestant tablet is effective for treating a suspected bacterial nasal infection and relieving its symptoms. You can safely use xylometazoline nasal drops alongside these for quick relief from a blocked nose. However, you must limit the nasal drops to a maximum of 3 to 5 consecutive days to prevent rebound congestion (where the nose becomes permanently blocked). Since your oral tablet already contains a decongestant, use the drops sparingly to avoid mild side effects like restlessness or a fast heart rate. Complete your antibiotic course and stay hydrated.
