I have had a nasal infection for the past five days and am currently taking Azithral 500 and Lazin D. Is this an effective treatment, and is it safe to also use Otrivin nasal drops?
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.
