Nasal Relief

Advantages: Fast blockage relief
Disadvantages: The new bottle isn't as good

...flatter rather than round. It holds 20ml of the nasal spray. Underneath the screw cap is a rounded ball point where the nasal spray squirts from. To release the spray, just give the bottle a squeeze. To use Sinex, insert the end up your nose and squeeze the bottle. For bad blockage use two shots. Breathe deeply through your nose after each shot to ensure that it spreads throughout your nostrils. Repeat in the other nostril. You can take Sinex up to twice a day with at least six hours intervals between shots. Sinex is very simple to use and has no after taste to it unlike its predecessor. You can hardly feel the spray enter your nose, which can be a problem because you are not sure whether or not anything has gone up there! It has an almost instant effect; you can breathe much easier right from the start, and the effects last for a number...

Baby Nasal Decongester

Advantages: Baby can breathe more easily
Disadvantages: Pulling out long boogies!

...I found myself looking at this strange contraption in my local chemist, it had a small nozzle attached to a squeezey rubber bulb, and was called the NUK Nasal Decongester. At the time I thought it was yet another consumer gimmick.....until my baby daughter had trouble breathing through a snotty nose at 2 months old. Obviously being at an age where I couldn't teach her to blow, I thought I'd give it a go. It's really useful once you get the hang of it. Obviously baby is going to wriggle around as soon as you gently hold it's head still and place something around it's nostril. (This sounds cruel, but you have to be to be kind) but believe me it's worth persevering. The decongester has a wide nozzle which you gently hold to one nostril (it's wide enough so you can't accidentally insert it into the baby's nostril) and it's made...

Nososal Childrens Nasal Drops

Advantages: Fast Acting
Disadvantages: none

...When my daughter was about 15 months old she suffered from really bad colds, we use to just use the vapor rubs which were good but didnt always work. Well not so long ago we had my niece stopping with s for 4 days she is 10 months old and on the second day she started with a bad cold. I rand her mum to find out what it is they usualy use and she told me Nasosal Childrens Nasal Drops. We went to the local chemist and purchased some for £3.00. With it being a dropper system i thought it might be a bit difficult to use but i was proved wrong, so long as she was led on her back it was acutally quite easy. All you do is place the dropper just inside the nostil and distribute the correct amount of drops, piece of cake. She was not to keep on me dropping it inside her nose, i think maybe i tickeled a bit but she was glad for it when it started...

neti pot nasal irrigation

Advantages: cheap, easy to do once learned, fast relief from sinus pressure
Disadvantages: daunting to start with! not easy to find someone to teach you

...Neti Pot Nasal Irrigator When nasal irrigation was first suggested to me as a way to clear my sinuses (after much moaning to a friend), I was horrified! Desperation and curiosity made me look a little deeper into the subject however and after my first few abortive attempts at irrigation without a neti pot, I decided to invest in one. How it works Basically, you pour lukewarm salty water up one nostril and it flows (thanks to gravity) down the other. It is suggested that you get instruction from a yoga practitioner before trying this. There are lots of articles online with advice about this. One of the best I found was a booklet free to download from matthewcox.org/neti/library.html. Ease of use This neti pot was very easy to use although after a week or so I realised that I had begun to hold it against the side of my nose...

Review of Neti Pot Nasal Irrigator

Breathe easy, sleep easy

Advantages: Aids a good nights sleep
Disadvantages: None

...I hate having colds especially at night when you are trying to sleep. The feeling of not being able to breathe starts to cause me to panic a little bit and I used to just get up and clean the house, do the ironing etc until I was so exhausted I wondered how I was going to manage to get through the next working day. Then I discovered Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray and now, although I still hate having a cold, I find it helps me cope through it until it is cured. The spray comes in a small bottle and costs approc £3.45 per bottle. This may seem a little expensive but when you can sleep properly you feel more alert and active which is worth every penny. A big sniff and a squirt up each nostrel and after a few minutes you feel the congestion clearing and breathing becomes easier. You have to be careful not to over do it as with all...

Review of Vicks Sinex Nasal Spray

Help you breathe more easily

Advantages: They work ok
Disadvantages: They don't completely work

...I've been having a bit of a nose congestion problem recently and according to my husband I always snore when I am asleep. I of course, don't hear it or believe him but apparently it is worse when my nose is blocked up so out of frustration that I cannot take any medicines at the moment (due to the fact that I am pregnant) I decided to buy some of these Breathe Right Nasal Strips in an attempt to get right of the congestion. These are problem a good solution for people who do not like to take medicine or cannot as they are a product you just use outside of your body and are drug free so this is one positive for the strips. The strips are said to gently open your nasal passages to help you breathe better, relieve nasal congestion and reduce snoring. The strips basically look like little plasters but they are not made of plaster material...

"may help to reduce snoring"

Advantages: OH had a better nights sleep
Disadvantages: I could still hear him snoring!

...the nasal passages and encourage breathing through the nose rather than the mouth. They come in different sizes (although gives no explanation as what they would class as a large or small nose??!!). Within the packet that I bought there was ten strips - which is a bit annoying, more than one weeks worth but you run out during the second week! So did they work?? In a word - no! The first night that my partner used them I was pleasantly surprised, although the snoring hadn't stop it seemed to be a lot lighter than usual and I was at least able to sleep throughout the night. But this did not last long, he has continued to wear them when he goes to sleep, and I am continuing to nudge him throughout the night telling him to be quiet! However, my partner has commented that since using these he does seem to be getting a much better nights sleep...

Sniff it and see

Advantages: Stops blockages, reduces snot and aids sleep
Disadvantages: Stings a wee bit

...~~*~~*~~ Sudafed Decongestant Nasal Spray ~~*~~*~~ Turns out that God doesn't love all his children equally - according to my father, (who recently told the local Methodist minister that he'd 'Gone off church and wasn't certain that God existed' - not the best way to get into heaven) God is testing me by giving me another cold whilst I'm still recovering from the chest infection inflicted upon me by the Great Flu epidemic of Oct 08. If God did indeed love all his children equally, he would have given HimIndoors 'Real Flu' instead of the manflu he (or rather, I) was made to suffer. ~~ Where can I find Sudafed Decongestant Nasal Spray ~~ I first discovered Sudafed's delightful product in Tesco's. I realise I'm no Indiana Jones and unearthing this amazing invention didn't involve any dangerous snakes or giant rolling balls...

Review of Sudafed Decongestant Nasal Spray

Hi My Name is Gemma...and I'm Addicted to Vicks

Advantages: Does clear noses
Disadvantages: Too Many to list

...Its never nice when you are all stuffed up, nose is blocked and struggling to breathe, especially at bed time when all you want to do is go asleep and all you can think of is I can't breathe. There is nothing worse than that. Vicks Sinex Spray has been out for years and the packaging has somewhat changed since that displayed in the picture above. That lloks like it was back in the day and I can never remember it being like that ever. Vicks Sinex Spray give you the ability to breathe by giving fast relief to the nasal passages. It is decongestant that relieves pressure and shrinks swollen nasal passages so you can breathe more easily and basically yeah that is what it does, I can certainly account for that. The Vicks Sinex Spray comes in a white plastic bottle that has a small pin hole at the top of it. You insert this into your...

Stick A Sudafed Spray Up Your Nose!

Advantages: Rapid Effect, Great Value, Long Lasting Effect
Disadvantages: Doesn't Cure The Problem, Not To Be Used For More Than 7 Days

...your bag, there are no worries about bits getting into the spray. A satisfying click also ensures you have the cap on securely. The active ingredient in Sudafed nasal spray is Xylometazoline with a concentration on 0.1%. I have never heard of this ingredient and it added to my little niggle of doubt about the effectiveness of the spray, which I had somehow made up in my mind, though I found this on the internet about Xylometazoline: 'Xylometazoline works by acting on alpha receptors found in the walls of blood vessels in the lining of the nasal passages. It causes the blood vessels in the nasal lining to narrow, restricting the amount of blood that passes through these blood vessels. This in turn decreases the amount of fluid pushed out of the blood vessels into the nose. This reduces the production of mucus and feeling of congestion...
