Afrin works fast because it shrinks swollen blood vessels in your nose. But if you use it for more than about 3 days in a row, your nose can rebound when it wears off, leaving you even more congested than before. That cycle is called rhinitis medicamentosa, or rebound congestion. Afrin can be great short-term, but don’t let your nose become dependent on the bottle. #Afrin #NasalSpray #Congestion #MedicalEducation
