Do you use nasal spray for runny nose?

Hi besweet, sorry to hear about your condition. I too, have very sensitive nose especially towards dust from the unstable weather. Doctor did gave me nasal spray once, but he told me not to use it unnecessarily, otherwise i might become addicted to it. And it is not healthy to use nasal spray too often. This morning i also woke up with runny nose, watery eyes. Make me feel so uncomfortable. I just recovered from my sickness not long ago, i felt like i might be getting sick again. Sigh...hopefully not. I don't want to take any medication again so soon. All i want is just to sleep more and eat...that's all. Wish you speedy recovery, and try not to use nasal spray so often. Go and sneeze out the flu or runny watery from your nose and clean it with water. Don't use tissue to sneeze, as the bacteria or virus will stick to the tissue, and if you throw them into the dustbin, it might spread all over your house. The best way is to clean it with water, and wash your hand clean with soap. With that, you will reduce the germ spreading. However, you can use tissue to stop your runny nose by stucking them into your nose, so you don't have to go to the washroom so often...that is what i always do. LOL! But, remember to throw the tissue into the water closet, and flush it down. These are my personal experience hygiene tips.. Get well soon. Have a good day.

The nasal sprays usually works well temperately. However, it is better not to use it so often unless you really feel uncomfortable. Since you will have to depend on it if you often use the nasal spray. And it will not solve your nasal problems anyway. I know it may sound crazy, but I hear that swimming can heal many healthy problems. In the past I swam once when I had nasal problem and it worked well after that.

To be sure, you would have to ask a physician first. And it depends on the brand of the nasal spray too. There are many factors to consider, but generally, i think nasal sprays are harmless. If you are worried about side effects you can try natural remedies for stuffy nose like steam inhalation. You can run the hot shower and inhale the steam or put hot water on a cup or basin and inhale the steam to relieve stuffiness. Avoid cold wind also and cold places, because these conditions will make your nose more stuffy. Elevate the head of your bead or put more pillows under your head when you sleep so you can breathe better. Hope these helps

I can give you a website that will help a lot. http://earthclinic.com/CURES/colds.html This site has all natural remedies that work. I have friends who tried the hydrogen peroxide one and they all said it worked within minutes. I don't get sick but my head felt a little stuffy last year so I tried it. I was amazed. This whole site is amazing. Hope it helps.

it depends if you are like you have a cold or something and you get a runny nose yes you can use it but i would recommend using a tissue or something because many people are allergic to nasal spray

Hi Besweet, I have tried nasal sprays before. I have allergic rhinitis and asthma as well. My doctor prescribed a nasal spray for my nose and an oral inhalant for my asthma. I never liked it but I had to use it. Whenever I spray it on my nose I feel a little drowsy and gets teary eyed. I also can't go swimming in the beach or the pool since it may cause infection. I've used it only for several months then stopped using it at all.

I got similar problem today, I drink lemon juice. Try it.
