Hello,
otrivin is a nasal decongestant. It's not a cure for your rhinitis but it will alleviate your symptoms. If the "allergy" and "flu" tablets contain a decongestant then you can use them. The "allergy" tablets usually contain an antihistamine drug. The "flu" tablets may contain acetaminophen and perhaps also a decongestant.
If you'd like a more detailed answer, please inform me about the active substances of the tablets that you have.
Kind regards!
