Is It Safe To Use Nasal Sprays For Long Term Use ?

Sir, I am suffering from cold, sneezing, itching of nose and eyes from the last 16 years. I have undergone nose surgery for septum deviation 15 years back. I have at present using Nasal sprays(carticosteroids). Can i continue sprays, is there any harm for long time use? Is there any other alternative remedy for me.?
