Most probably you may be suffering from the rhinitis medicamentosa
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern; it suggests that most probably you may be suffering from the rhinitis medicamentosa.
Rhinitis medicamentosa (RM), also known as rebound rhinitis or chemical rhinitis, is a condition characterized by nasal congestion without rhinorrhea or sneezing that is triggered by the use of topical vasoconstrictive medications for more than 4-6 days.
But to rule out the other disease, to reach the near diagnosis and for better management; I would like to suggest that you may go for
1. CT scan PNS and
2. Nasal endoscopy.
Above mentioned investigation are necessary for better management.
