Yes: Oxymetazoline should only be used for 3 to 5 days maximum. See your doctor if you still have significant nasal congestion after this time period.

There are no: interactions noted between Oxymetazoline and amoxicillin using a drug interaction checker. Do not use more than twice in a 24 hour period & limit use for 3 to 5 days to avoid rebound congestion.
