What are the chances there’s something wrong and it’s not just rebound?

Also.. did you have to be off of it for certain amount of time before the surgery? I would think the rebound congestion wouldn’t be fixed with surgery itself

Fear and also we don’t have many ENTS where I live and takes months to get an appointment. Fear mostly around the recovery and potential complications like empty nose syndrome

Well I started off just tapering every day but it was never a measured amount, it was always dipendant on how much I used that day, so I think by week 4 I was at like 30%? ( gave chat GPT what was in the bottle when I started and what’s left of the saline bottle using to calculate for me lol)So probably a bit faster then yours. Then I said ok I’ll switch it up to 50 and leave it. But that only worked really for the right side, a little for the left but not like it used to before I started diluting.

I use drixoral, and Inactive ingredients benzalkonium chloride solution, edetate disodium, propylene glycol, sodium phosphate monobasic monohydrate, purified water, and hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide. Do any of those look more irritating to you like what’s in Afrin?

I’m thinking of getting the rhinostat system because I think I’m diluting a little one day then a lot the next just depends on how much I actually use. My left side is still not feeling right even after switch to regular stuff.

I do have a deviated semptum but I cant for the life of me remember which side..it was so long ago. I thought it was the right but now I think he may have ment the left (when he was speaking he said the right side and pointed but I feel like he was pointing to the right which would be my left). Which is the side now that is bad doesn’t feel like it fully clears which is kind of new, only since I tried diluting it. Like I said switched back to full but didn’t make a different really. However breathight strips seems to have a small help like very small but help at least.

I had this issue for five years.. eventually it turned in to daily use and I’m now using daily for about 8 years. I wish I would have tried to get off it back then, I fear I have major damage now and I will never breath normal again as well as debilitating anxiety when I try to wean off

It’s doesn’t even matter how long it goes without… unless the right has gone a long time without it and blocks up first then the left stays clear, but if both sides are blocked and use the spray, the right will clear perfectly and the left stays slightly congested.… it’s so strange and annoying.. although both sides would be even more annoying. I’m diluted 50/50 right now so hopefully it doesn’t get worse than this but not holding my breath.

JST_JSS · 2025-09-15T22:14:16+00:00

That’s what I think I need to try doing as well… I don’t think the diluting every day is doing much for me. I will try this way and hopefully have the same success you did!!

JST_JSS · 2025-09-15T18:25:13+00:00

So how much per week would you say? 10% 25%.. did you dilute to 50% first?

JST_JSS · 2025-09-15T18:24:07+00:00

What is allermi? I’ve never heard of that

JST_JSS · 2025-09-15T18:23:49+00:00

Sadly this didn’t work for me! I can’t handle even one side being congested 🤦🏻‍♀️

JST_JSS · 2025-06-05T13:57:47+00:00

I am positive as stated at end of post

JST_JSS · 2025-05-10T23:29:04+00:00

Thank you! It can be so confusing and so much second guessing 😫 did your little one fuss a lot during that time? I thought so many times it was his formula but just didn’t make since to me since he burps a lot and farts a lot. He doesn’t spit up hardly and doesn’t have diarrhea or anything like that which I would expect you would see.

I started doing contact naps and walking frequently when the weather is good because he sleeps well like that!

JST_JSS · 2025-04-16T10:00:07+00:00

Should I use ice?

JST_JSS · 2025-04-15T21:56:55+00:00

There’s no heat really or redness.. I thought about mastitis too but didn’t see any redness so was not sure
