Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I was advised to use this by my ENT doctor, and after a period of using other nasal sprays and experiencing severe nosebleeds, total nasal blockage, and being reduced to having to breathe through my mouth, I decided to give his advice a try. Within a couple of weeks of just using NeilMed, my symptoms were much improved, and for the first time in a long, long time, I was able to sleep all night without having to wake up to get a drink of water. Now, a couple of months down the line, I rinse maybe once or twice a day. I can smell and taste almost as well as I could before this horrible nightmare began and feel like I have my life back. There are a number of chemical products out there that do work very well in the short term, but with regular use, they will mess up your sinuses and take you to a living hell. My advice would be not to use them at all and to just use this product. There are probably other saline-only products that would work just as well, but my story is based on NeilMed."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I got the Neil Med sinus rinse upon my doctor's recommendation as I had a bad sinus infection that was turning into bronchitis. Both nares totally occluded. I was literally breathing through my mouth. I started on the right side, and it was slow to progress but seemed to help, so I was excited. I went to do the left side, and the water wouldn’t go in at all. Then my left eardrum popped. It was excruciating. Never again. It hurts to even blow my nose now. And both sides are stuffed as ever, and my throat is now sore, and I have a bad headache. Never again."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "My ENT recommended using sinus rinse for sinus infection, along with antibiotics and prednisone. At recheck, he told me to continue during allergy season. Plants blooming! Good for cleaning before using Flonase. Works well, sinuses are clear. Be careful, sometimes grip slips and I squirt my eye!"

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "Have used the spray for years due to severely dry sinus conditions. For allergies, I was using Flonase spray, but the side effect was bloody sinus. MD prescribed Ayr Saline Nasal Gel to be used prior to using Flonase. It does burn my nasal passages a bit, but the bloody sinus side effect of the Flonase has been eliminated. I only use it during severe allergy attacks to supplement the Flonase. It works well for me."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "Have used NeilMed per instructions, and per allergist, for chronic sinusitis, for two years. It took awhile (a month) to adjust to drowning the sinuses in a saline bath, twice a day. It started out slightly irritating and congesting too, but the reward for sticking it out has been zero sinus infections, a big deal. But the doctor had to prescribe a powdered antibiotic (Mupirocin) to the saline solution, to accomplish this (due to nine prior sinus surgeries). Three middle ear infections have developed from the solution reaching and stagnating in the Eustachian tubes, but could be because I also have immune issues. Bottom line - NeilMed has substantially reduced the misery of sinusitis, and I'm no longer on oral antibiotics every other month for those nasty sinus infections. A major improvement in quality of life."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "Been using Ayr for around a year. Seems to work, but I keep having scabs that just won’t go away! I’m beginning to think it’s because I’m using this stuff. I stopped using Ayr nasal gel a couple of days ago. Instead, I have used just a tiny bit of Vaseline. Guess what? No scabs! Guess this stuff doesn’t work as good as I thought!"

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I use this nasal spray regularly for nasal congestion. My major complaint is that for the last 2 months or so, the bottles have been nearly impossible to open! The top is jammed on so tight that it can only be opened by prying it off with a sharp knife. I thought it was a one-time manufacturing error when it first happened, but it's been so long now I'm not sure what the problem is."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "It slightly cleared my congestion for a few minutes, then the congestion returned. My nose felt extremely dry for days after, to the point of burning, and it made my eyes ache. For me, the aftereffect of this product is not worth the few minutes of a clear nose. I boiled the tap water on a rolling boil for seven minutes and cooled it to tepid. I know what I did was correct."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I used this for a dry nose, but it made my nose burn, and then the following day I had a slight nosebleed and a burning in my nose. I notice the color was blue, and now the gel is a lighter shade of blue, but I still have the same problem. Stopped using it, going back to the ENT who prescribed this to me."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I used this product once, and now the entire half of my face is swollen. My eyes, jaws, and lip are very swollen and getting bigger. There is no warning on the product indicating the side effects. Very bad product."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "Causes terrible sores in my nose. Painful, crusty sores. Only used it twice a day. And I have had two rashes on my legs since I have been using this. No, thank you. They really should warn you about all side effects, so the patient can make an informed decision. Thank you."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "My ENT gave me NasoGel to use for my dry nose. I followed the suggested dosage, and after a week, my sinus passages began to ache badly on the right side. I bought some sinus headache pain medicine for relief. Although the sinus pain has gone away from that area, I am now experiencing pain near my right temple. I am still using the NasoGel because it really has cleared my passages like crazy, but I think I may stop because I can only attribute the sinus pain to the nasal spray."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "Wonderful results. After taking this product for a year, the size of my nose has decreased. Pain and soreness in facial bones, crackling noises, and congestion have almost cleared. This product helped clear the long-term infection better than Avamis, which did help for a while. I continue to use it without any side effects."

For Nasal Congestion "I've used over-the-counter saline solution for a couple of years now, but just opened a new generic brand from a well-known store and am worried that this product has gone bad because my nasal passages are on fire and has caused an instant severe sore throat. I checked the expiration date, and it is good till 2017. This has never happened before. Will be returning to the store to report this. Be careful using this stuff."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "The product is good for blocked Eustachian tubes, but about half of all products are impossible to open because the tops are on too tight. Given their expense, it's annoying that manufacturers can't create a better top that is frequently so difficult to open."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "It works when you use it, because after I've used the whole bottle in my nose, I blow after, and all the gunk comes out, but it doesn't get it all out. We need something else to use while we're waiting for our next treatment."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I use this rinse once a day since the Dr. suggested it. I have had very positive results. It's just saline (salt) solution. I boil the water for ten minutes and let cool. I heat it in the microwave for 23 seconds. It really helps me, and I haven't gotten a sinus infection since (3 years). The only complaint I have is they should make the top wider, and I have a hard time pouring from the teakettle into the bottle."

For Nasal Congestion "I used it once, got a bad headache and dizziness, still not gone away 3 days later? It's like a sharp pain that comes and goes at the front of the forehead. Does anyone know how long it goes for? I told the doctor as usual, he said to not worry about it, but it's getting worse."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "I used NeilMed sinus rinse three days in a row. I started to have nosebleeds and headaches. There are no side effects warnings on the box. My husband was the one that brought this to my attention if the nosebleed and headaches could be a side effect from it."

For Nasal Congestion "Started using about 36 hours ago and had some burning in one nostril almost immediately, but the overall benefit was good. Then, the headache started. So, even though I can breathe better, I can't handle the persistent headache. I will continue to look for something for my nose."

For Nasal Congestion "I have a bleeding crust that doesn't seem to go away. I tried this for the first time. Just a little amount on the end of my nostrils and on the inner side as well. I don't know what you guys are saying about a burn or drip for sore throats. Maybe you are applying too much or inhaling through your nose too hard, which would cause it to get way up in your sinus or whatever and lead to your throat. Just hack a loggie to get it out or I don't know what to tell you. But it seems to work for me, no problem."

Sodium chloride nasal for Nasal Congestion "In my view, the product intended to solve my sinus problems is actually exacerbating them, and that's saying something because my sinuses are already in bad shape. Despite giving it a fair chance, I strongly believe that the discomfort and mess caused by using this product, not to mention the hassle of constantly sanitizing a low-quality plastic bottle for nasal insertion, are simply not worth the time invested. If this is truly the most effective remedy available, then I may have to consider moving to a location with a more conducive environment for my sinuses. I've had enough."

Sodium chloride nasal "I wish that I would have used this a long time ago. I have sinusitis and really bad sinuses in general. It's amazing how I can breathe right after using this product, and I can't believe how much stuff comes out of my face! It is truly amazing. Right after I get done doing it, I can breathe, and I can smell things again! Even when I get over this bout of sinusitis, I am still going to use this product a couple times a week at least, just to rinse all that bad stuff out of my sinuses, as they seem to be irritated a lot. I've been using the NeilMed Sinus Rinse. I bought the whole box that included the bottle and 50 packets of the saline mix, and I bought a gallon of distilled water. This is absolutely one of the best natural remedies, period, for anything!!!"
