Nasal Sprays Review for Sinus Relief
We get asked all the time what we think of nasal sprays. Some of you swear by them. Others of you say they do not make much of a dent on your symptoms. The important thing to remember is nasal sprays are for symptom relief, they do not provide a cure.
Nasal Spray and Nasal Wash Roundup
Nasal sprays can be helpful but you have to be careful about which ones you use, some of the sprays have a rebound effect and you end up needing to use them more and more frequently to alleviate the congestion.
Our experience has shown that these nasal sprays are a useful tool in the kit bag of a sinus sufferer but they don’t provide “a cure” and they are not the whole solution. Thinking that all you need to do is take a couple of sniffs from a nasal spray per day is wishful thinking. Oh, that it was so easy. Some of the nasal sprays recommended by doctors are as follows:

Does provide definite relief for allergies and sinusitis and is non drying. Some users may suffer nosebleeds after using it a few times and choose to avoid it, but this is very rare.
Flonase
