For Nasal Congestion "Absolutely horrible! After my boyfriend took the cap off (took forever), I sprayed it in my nose and now I'm in tears by the pain I'm feeling. My nose and throat are on fire! The medication caused me to throw up. Horrible, will never buy again!"

Oxymetazoline nasal for Nasal Congestion "I would not wish Afrin upon my worst enemy. My nasal cavity burns horribly, and my throat is sore and stingy. I’ve tried saline spray, gargling water, blowing my nose, and taking Advil with no avail. I was at one point on the verge of tears."

For Nasal Congestion "Neil-med SinuFrin is a lifesaver for me. I've been using 1 squirt in each nostril just before going to bed for many years. This is all I need to be able to easily breathe. There are only two reasons I stop for now. 1) Nasal passages are clear. (not very often) 2) Nasal passages feel raw, the spray hurts, and I sneeze a lot. This happens at most once a year. My doctor tells me I shouldn't use this, but the stuff he keeps telling me to use doesn't work. My biggest concern and something I haven't been able to find out is what are the long-term use issues with this type of spray?"

For Nasal Congestion "I have found my people! Just a few weeks ago, I went through the drama of trying to open that cap! For a second, I thought I lost my marbles not being able to open it. My sinuses were in such pain that I considered sawing the stupid neck of the bottle off and just snorting a line of the fluid from my countertop. Will buy Afrin in the pump mist form from now on, rather than that archaic squeeze bottle."
