Nasal Spray

[woodelf]

Can anyone recommend a good nasal spray, one that doesn't need you to attach this to that and that to whatever...one that you just squeeze the bottle and the spray er sprays!...smile...I had a Vicks Sinex spray, but that was one of the former 'Heath Robinson' type and I had one of Boots own and that was a sealed 'squeeze' bottle, but nothing much happened and yes, I did check the nozzle was clear and that there were contents in the bottle! Ta Muchly and Take Care All!

I have never had a problem with beconase. For a soothing rinse, then I use sterimar, either the big can or the handbag sized spray, again never had a problem

For what reason are you needing the spray, allergy hay fever, long term, short term?

[davebro]

I got prescribed AVAMYS but I think I only used it a couple of times then gave up (the instructions do say you may need to use it for a while to become effective).

[davebro]

mine was for dust mite allergy

Many Thanks guys, though I aint got a handbag Woof!...Sqad, I've got Pseudomona, COPD and COAD and am using a Revlar inhaler and Carbocisteine and with the world still being upside down, I'm trying my hardest not to be brought down, though my chest rattles away like marbles in a tumble dryer!...so I'm trying everything and anything, even Vicks Vaporub!

[Sqad]

Right.....well, you are already inhaling a steroids, so I cannot see any reason why you should not use a steroid nasal spray as suggested by woofy and dave.....either would be suitable.
The Pseudomonas I presume is in your chest and leaves me a little concerned, but no doubt you medical team is onto this.

[woodelf]

Yes Sqad, I'm concerned too, very much so and though I've had countless appointments cancelled, understandably, I think, I have had many a scrip for mucolytics and anti-bio maintenance, but I've had this blasted cough for over five years and the chest rattles and rolls with it!...easy to make the jokes, but it's just not the cough alone - lung scar tissue, etc, etc and it's gettin' me down, man!...but there's more worse off than me, eh!

[Sqad]

//////..but there's more worse off than me, eh!/////

That's hardly the point.

[woodelf]

I agree, but bad grammar is bad grammar!...smile!

I use Sterimar, it is very mild, just salt and water I think. Have a tissue handy afterwards! Comes straight out again.
