My strongest suggestion, stay away from nasal spray.
I'm 100% addicted, and the rebound affect is terrible, causes acute sinusitis over time. I can't breath unless I hit the spray every few hours now. Sucks! |

The hell are you doing, man? It specifically says right on the bottle not to exceed the recommended dosage or it can make symptoms worse. Use as directed, and it will do exactly what it's intended to do. You are abusing it and blaming it on the spray.

Go to the doctor, have him prescribe a Z-pack. You'll be fine in a few days, whereas a sinus infection can linger for weeks if left untreated.

I remember getting a sinus infection several times back in the 80's. You can get an infection from things like your pool or maybe even falling into some random white powder by accident.
You need some antibiotics and some pseudoephedrine. You'll feel good as new in a few days. |

I did that to myself right after I got out of college. Basically, the doctor prescribed nasicort and ibuprofen to eliminate as much inflamation as possible and I just had to ride it out for a couple of weeks. Now I only use Afrin if I'm super stuffed and I only use it once per day and never ever use it 2 days in a row. |

Use a neti pot and only spray one side for a few days to let the other heal.

Well I added a few drops of nasal spray to my navage and woke up after a nap clear headed. Still weak but wow. Now you are saying to avoid spray.

It's a flesh eating amoeba, and the "snot" is actually broken down brain matter. RIP.
