hello dear
thanks for your query at HCM
treatment for rhinitis medicamentosa is stop nasal drops which are in use, and short course of systemic steroids will improve the condition.
you have mentioned hypertrophy of turbinates surgery may be necessary depending on the condition of the patient symptoms and size of the turbinates.
regards.
