Afrin is my go to nasal spray

This was added by the Chief of Anesthesia to code carts at the hospital I worked at because it was the best quick acting decongestant available. I used it to open my sinuses when I had Covid-19. It worked great along with an alupent inhaler & some sports oxygen. I take nasal steroids with a CPAP but they didn’t work as well once I got Covid. Afrin with a CPAP made it so I could get some sleep.

I ordered this product, but I did not get a pump spray, I got the original bottle that you have to squeeze. It’s not as good. I’m looking at the pictures and it looks like some people did get a pump spray. I need to order these as they’re hard to find in my local drugstore, can anyone answer me if I will get a pump spray because last time I got a squeeze bottle and I don’t want that again.

I've tried multiple types of Afrin nasal spray over the past few years. With this particular Original kind, I find that it doesn't always seem to last the full 12 hours before I become congested again. Oftentimes I need to use the inhaler after about 8 or so hours. But my congestion is also pretty serious and a result of a sinus infection. You're not supposed to use the nasal spray for more than a few days in a row, but I tend to go way beyond that while treating my infections on my own with UMF-rated manuka honey, herbal antibiotics and sea salt/aromatherapy inhalers. Since I'm immune to regular antibiotics now, I have no other choice.Afrin is extremely effective in clearing up the nasal passages and shrinking the swollen membranes. It allows you to breathe freely even when you're completely stuffed up. I like the original Afrin better than the menthol Afrin, which, despite being non-drop, can drip slightly and be unpleasant. The non-drip Moisturizing Afrin works well but left my throat extremely dry. So the Original Afrin is my favorite right now despite not seeming to be as strong and long-lasting as the others. It WORKS!
