A member asked:

I used afrin (oxymetazoline) before bed, now my nose hurts and im leaking clear liquid from my nose, is this normal? the pain woke me up. hurts when i turn my head.

Afrin (oxymetazoline) is supposed to: help with decongesting your nostrils so you can breathe while you sleep. So yes the clear liquid coming out must be what the Afrin (oxymetazoline) decongested -- however, if that clear liquid thickens up, or becomes cloudy, and you have more headache/pain noted without using more Afrin (oxymetazoline), you may need to get to a healthcare provider so they can treat you for potential sinus infection.
