I used nasal spray which is 3 months expired! i didn't realise till after! it seems to have worked though but do i need to worry?

No: Most medications have expiration dates because of regulation (it also makes people buy more). They usually don't lose effectiveness or become dangerous. There are always exceptions but you'll be fine.
