How To Relieve Adult Nasal Congestion With A Baby's Nasal Spray, 30 Oct. 2011

Arriving in England from Canada on May 12, 2010, I was all stuffed up from a long trip across the pond. It felt as if I was coming down with a head cold. I needed something to open up my nasal passages. So I popped into the nearest pharmacist to see what I could get. I'm not crazy about those pill-type decongestants that either make you drowsy or non-drowsy. I just don't like them. At home I had always used a saline solution in the spray bottle with mixed results. After any lengthy use, my nose would feel like a bed of sea salt - not exactly a pleasant feeling.

Effective for a blocked nose, 8 Jan. 2012

My baby's nose was frequently snotty, blocked high up in his nose. This spray works well for this type of blocked nose as it loosens the snot and makes it easier for the baby to sneeze or breathe out. It does spray out with some force which is not particularly pleasant for the baby but I think it's worth doing if yor baby is struggling to feed or sleep because of his/her breathing. I found that using this occassionally along with trying to maintain a damp atmosphere in his room (a bowl of boiling water near his cot) really helped.
