Allergy: If you sneeze nasal sprays back out, your nose may be blocked. This could be allergy, but I am concerned you are abusing over the counter nasal sprays. Rhinitis medicamentosa or the swelling of the nasal mucosa can be treated. See an ENT doctor to rule out abuse of nasal sprays or an allergist to determine if you have nasal allergy.
