Hi :) I wanted to respond to your msg. I am not a doctor, but I am a ma. (fyi:) I wanted to say that I find it weird that a doctor would prescribe or have you take nasal drops or a decongestant esp if you have no infection or nasal/sinus problems. I did alittle research when I read your post (on google) and there are no real answers to your question. I suppose as long as you do not have an ear/sinus infection or have no pain than I really wouldnt worry about it. If you have any problems with the above mentioned at anytime, let me know and I can give you some advice as to what you can do..Other than antibiotics. Good luck :)
