Nose/Sinus/Allegery issues...

[Daisy and Delilah]

Kim's right about the thin coat of vaseline, Jennie. The relief is almost instant. Just a super thin coat.

How did the doc know you had polyps? Did he put a camera in your nose? Normally, they insert a tube with a camera in your nostril. It goes back to where the polyps are.

I still use only Nasonex once or twice a day. Usually once. My allergy doctor said to point the spray to the sides of the inside(left and right walls) of your nostrils. He said that will prevent bleeding. It works like a charm. Good luck!!! Sorry you're feeling so yucky!

Saline rinses are GOOD, Jenn - but just cut down. MAYBE twice a day at most.

Do the vaseline girl - just try it once and you'll feel the difference!

jenn..maybe you need an allergist or ear/nose/throat specialist.

My mom's breathing problems and allergies, nose cannula (on O2 24/7) caused her nose bleeds and dryness as well. The nose doc told her to put a very very thin coat of Neophorin in her nostrils. (I did it for her). It helped the dryness and soreness. You don't shove it all the way up, just lightly/gently a little forward up the nostril. It helped my poor mom. My brother, unfortunately, inherited her allegery/nasal problems. This weather, with the heat and dryness is wicked. I hope you feel better soon.

I wouldn't use the spray any more than ONE time a day. Do you know if it's an infection or you are allergic? If you're allergic to something, try a pill type medication. The only thing that works for me is a prescription of Bromfenex capsules, 2 a day.
If you have an infection the sprays won't help as much as just keep doing more damage. Try and get an antibiotic that you take orally like liquid or a capsule.
