I would have never recommended that nose spray in the first place.
Stop using that medication. It has a decongestant in it called phenylephrine. If should not be used for more then 5 days. What happens is that this medication causes your vessels within the sinus to constrict thus relieving the congestion. However, after 5 days you body adapts to it and causes REBOUND vasodilation thus making your congestion worst causing the addiction. See your physcian so he can prescribe you a steroid which works much better.
Stop using the nasal spray, take an oral decongestant (sudafed/pseudoephedrine) for some relief as well as tylenol/advil for the pain for tonight and see the doctor tommorow.
Email me if you got questions.
At night, use Breath Right Strips to keep your nostrils open. You don't need any more drugs. Sleep with a humidifier next to the bed. Start flushing your sinuses with saline every day from now on. It is safe and non-addicting.
