Decongestant Nose Drops or Spray (no prescription needed)

  • Use this only if the sinus still seems blocked up after nasal washes. Use the long-acting type (e.g., Afrin).
  • Dosage: 1 drop or spray on each side 2 times/day if over age 6.
  • Always clean out the nose before using.
  • Don't use for more than 5 days (Reason: rebound congestion).
