Guest guest Posted June 24, 2003 Report Share Posted June 24, 2003 I suspect you mean the nose sprays. Pure saline will be helpful, and, far as I know, doesn't cause a " rebound " effect. But some things can make the tissues swell larger than they were before, if overused. I think they usually have a warning on the label. Lordy, I'm having a senior moment about the names. Does Afrin fall into that category maybe? And Neosynephrine, maybe? It's ok to use them, just don't overuse them... (It's a case in which although a little is good, more is definitely not better.
