Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

It requires about 24hours for the blood levels to decline to close to zero. I recommend that you give yourself a day before taking xylometazoline or any antihistamine.

In the interim, tylenol would help with the symptoms of headaches, body pains. Rinsing the nostrils with normal saline would help clear decongestion as well in the interim.

I will like to get your updates. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Kind regards!
