Nasal spray?

brianamah · May 2011

My nose is so stuffy and nasal decongestant spray is the only thing that'll work. Not sure if it's safe and I can't get my doctor on the phone. Anyone happen to know from experience?

My doctor said to stay away from it, and I read online something about it causing higher b/p.

Aw man! Well I guess I'll just have to deal. ONE MORE THIING I have to live without.

saline nasal spray is fine

Afrin is not okay. Flutacasone (sp?) is not okay. Rhinocort Aqua can be prescribed but I forget what class of drug it is.

I had a sinus infection last week and my doctor said the only thing that's safe to take is the saline nasal spray. You can get it anywhere that has a drugstore section. It didn't help a spectacular amound but it's worth a shot, right? My doctor also said try a Neti Pot. I tried it, but couldn't get it to go through because I was so stuffed and my sinus infection was so bad. Good luck!

I was also told only to use the saline nasal spray.

My doctor cleared my nasal spray. Most likely because if I don't I'll get numerous sinus infections which is worst for my baby.

I use a saline spray. The dr did give me Fluticasone but then the OB took me off of it. The saline spray has been working beautifully though.
