A member asked:
If i use afrin nasal spray as needed for nasal allergies for 3 days in a row, how long do i have to wait before it is ok to use afrin again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better treatment: Go see an ENT and get switched to a better long-term treatment. Afrin (oxymetazoline) is a poor choice to manage allergies.
