Nasal spray causing extreme burning. Need relief! Help!?
I used afrin nasal spray and I think I may have used too much. I didn't find relief after the recommended two sprays so I did two more. Now I am experiencing extreme burning and stinging throughout my left nostril, up through the sinus cavity next to my left eye and I am experiencing moderate pain in my left ear. My left eye waters non-stop and it's all making me feel very nauseous. Perhaps I sniffed it too far up into my sinuses? It also feels like too much air is passing through the left nostril and causing the stinging to be even worse. What should I do for relief?
Can I clean my nose piercing with Saline Nasal spray?
You could use saline nasal spray, but be careful and read the ingredients. Make sure it is simply salt and water. Some have sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or other ingredients that won't be good. However, even buying and using premixed nasal sprays are an expensive alternative to just buying a bag of sea salt (a large bag will only be about $4-$6) and mixing your own saline solution. As for anything else to clean it, just when you shower turn the water temperature up a bit and run it over your nose for about 5 minutes. The heat will help blood flow to the area and get the crusties off of the outside.
Why is the inside of my nose burning so bad?
Your nose is most likely dry and damaged. If you are taking anything like benadryl or allergy medication or cold medication, it has caused your nose tissue to dry out. You need to get a Saline Nasal Spray from a chemist/pharmacy. Wallgreen's brand Saline Nasal Spray is something like $2.00. I've been sick for like a week and my nose/throat hurt like hell because it is a sinus infection and the medication dries me out and the post nasal drip causes my throat to get sore at night. You need to make sure you are hydrated. That means more than drinking a lot of water, it means making sure you have the vital salts etc. that your body needs so you should get a few bottles of gatoraid or pediasure (in the baby section of the store) on top of drinking lots of water. If nothing else, add a pinch of tablesalt to your glass of water to add a bit of sodium chloride and iodine to your system. Good luck... I feel your pain...
I need Sinus help!!!?
I know exactly what you are going through. One of my sons used to develop wicked sinus infections and used to have to take antibiotics as well. However, in the meantime, I used to tell him to take a really hot bath, as hot as he could stand it, and let the steam work on his sinuses. Also, drinking steaming hot chicken broth used to help a lot. "Although home remedies cannot cure sinus infection, they might give you some comfort. Inhaling steam from a vaporizer or a hot cup of water can soothe inflamed sinus cavities. Saline nasal spray, which you can buy in a drug store, can give relief. Gentle heat applied over the inflamed area is comforting." More info on treating sinus infections at site below.
Does Nasal Sprays like Otrivin and Nasivion have any side-effects to the body?
Nasal sprays like the ones that you have mentioned, work on your adrenergic system by modulating the α receptors present in your sinuses. They are good for short term uses, or otherwise as directed by your treating physician, but, just like any other medication, have their fair share of side-effects:The most talked about one among the physicians is the rihinitis medicamentosa. Pretty scary, huh? Let's find out. So the nasal spray works by modulating the adrenergic receptors to stimulate the nor-epinephrine (it is a neurotransmitter at the end of certain neurons) present in your nasal mucousa, which then results in vasoconstriction in the mucousal bed, causing the mucousa to shrink, which in normal life, is how you feel great when your nose stops running. But then, as your granny often tells you that excess of everything is bad, nasal spray is no exception. Prolonged use, often for more than 3 days, results in downregulation of the same receptors and withdrawal of nor-epinephrine from the adrenergic sites, possibly by rapid internalisation of the receptors, degradation and subsensitivity, called tachyphylaxis in our scientific parlance. In your layman language, it can be roughly translated as your body telling you to, "f*** off and go to hell. Stop exploiting me." Clinically this manifests as reduced response to your medication and rebound of your symptoms. How to prevent this from happening?Do not use for long periods continuously.Follow your doctor's advice.Since the medication works on α receptors, albeit mostly topically in your nasal mucousa, it can also cause side-effects related to stimulation of these receptors, especially in the vulnerable.Systemic hypertension (a 5$ word for increased blood pressure) because of systemic vasoconstriction.Urinary flow obstruction, especially in those prone to developing benign prostatic hypertrophy. Trust me, I have seen elderly gentlemen rush to us in the middle of a cold wintery night, desperately wanting to pee, but unable to do so. On being probed, they would often tell us about a friendly next door neighbour lending them their fancy phuss phuss for a mild flu.Other more manageable side effects may include sleep disturbances, dizziness, psychological issues like excitation and nervousness, atrophic rhinitis and anosmia, nausea, etc.The layperson reader of this answer is encouraged to refer to a science dictionary for a better understanding of some of the scientific terms.
Sinus Infection: Should I put salt water up my nose?
DON'T snort seawater, for Pete's sake. It's not just salt in there - there are all kinds of unknown substances. Get a glass of warm (not hot), mild (not strong) salt water and use an infant's nasal syringe or ear syringe - cheap at any drugstore. Use regular old table salt from the kitchen - there is NO reason to spend a lot of money on this. Tilt your head back and squirt a little salt water into the back of one nostril. You don't have to sniff it - you can try, but it may be painful, so whatever works for you. Cough until the salt water goes down the back of your throat. Then blow your nose to get rid of excess salt water. Repeat with the other nostril. This stimulates drainage in your sinuses. Salt water also kills germs, and it does NOT have to be very strong and salty. A lot of people use Neti pots, but a lot of us don't like using that much water when only a little is needed. It depends on the individual and his/her needs. You should squirt salt water whenever you feel a sinus or throat infection coming on, and gargle with it too. Garlic (as someone else suggested) is excellent for cold prevention. It's a very strong anti-bacterial. If you have a runny nose when you don't have a cold, you need to find out if you have allergies.
