For Nasal Congestion "I used the Ayr gel to moisten my nasal passages, and it caused the membranes to swell. Developed a headache, and my throat has become very irritated and have hoarseness. I stopped using it over a week ago and am still having problems. Do not recommend this product to anyone."

For Nasal Congestion "I purchased Ayr Nasal Mist after experiencing another nosebleed and reading that saline spray would help keep the nose not so dry. Immediately after taking just a small spray in each nostril, I developed a sore throat, sneezing, and throat irritation similar to a cold. I have not taken any more of this product, and my symptoms are slowly clearing up. I also experienced headaches. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence and I was getting a cold, but after reading about this product, now I know I cannot use it ever again. I should have read this before I purchased it."

For Nasal Congestion "I have used it two separate times, and both times I have ended up with a severe sore throat and laryngitis. Something I did not have before use. I blame it on the Ayr dripping down the back of my throat. I followed directions exactly."

"I've been using the sinus rinse for a few months now. My ENT gave it to me for a dry nose. I didn't notice that my symptoms came from this sinus rinse before. My throat is sore, my ears and head hurt every time I use it. I wasn't sure at first, but now I know it's the sinus rinse. It does help my dry nose, but a few days after use, I always get a sore throat, earache, and headache."

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."
