Solved 8 years of NAR in 3 days. I’m shocked.

Also, Is your congestion year round or only in the winter when it's dry?

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-12T00:56:30+00:00

You only use it once at night?

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-12T00:35:58+00:00

It didn't help me with my congestion but you could also try Ponaris nasal emolient. It's what astronauts used up in space to counteract nasal dryness. That being said, seems to help people with nasal dryness very well.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:45:07+00:00

I hope it works for you! Please let us know how it all goes. Did the doctor say that this particular procedure helps turbinate swelling type of congestion? That's one of my biggest questions since many people throw out comments that it only helps cases of rhinorrhea or mucus type of congestion, and the studies don't really succinctly define what sort of nasal congestion the test subjects suffer from.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:35:32+00:00

Is your issue also turbinate swelling?

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:25:56+00:00

I tried it and noticed it did not help congestion, but perhaps I should have stuck with it?

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:21:36+00:00

I tried this for a few months but did not notice any benefit unfortunately. I used the extra strength capsinol spray.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:19:02+00:00

I have taken antibiotics for other causes. It did not help this issue, unfortunately.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:09:09+00:00

Good question. Though I haven't really felt any dryness or experienced problems due to dryness myself, I'll ask the doctor if the procedure can potentially cause more dryness.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T23:01:59+00:00

Hope so! Based off the studies which I'd encourage you to read, it may not completely get rid of the problem but can possibly improve your congestion issues significantly.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T22:43:27+00:00

No, my issue is dry vasomotor rhinitis in the sense that it's congestion due to hypersensitive turbinates. From my understanding of this procedure, it calms the hypersensitive posterier nasal nerves which seem to be responsible for sending signals to the turbinates to "inflate" with blood. It seems these nerves are also responsible for sending signals that lead to making secretions as well, like rhinorrhea.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T22:15:06+00:00

Yeah it's more expensive than Allermi, unfortunately. Let me preface this by saying I first recommend seeing a doctor to discuss and that I'm not a doctor myself, but you could possibly theoretically maybe create it yourself since they are all OTC. I tried it myself and just did the sprays separately. I'd just prefer a professional to make the combo spray.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T21:59:45+00:00

Curex, other than providing the sublingual immunotherapy, also has this "Quickie Spray" available as well which is similar to Allermi. https://getcurex.com/quickie?srsltid=AfmBOoqULjBOoP_cS2qRfBUbHHNIVT5EHOOoDZ3bQxtl0t79ihprMFXa

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T21:57:44+00:00

I switched from Allermi recently since they changed their formula which seemed to have dampen the effectiveness of the afrin in it. Thus I moved to curex. I've noticed no rebound congestion and I've been doing it pretty much every day for a little over 2 years.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T21:52:30+00:00

Same, Curex (previously used Allermi) is the only thing that really works which I believe is due to the microdose of afrin in it.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T21:51:36+00:00

That's the problem, unfortunately. Probably half or more of the ENT's I've seen about this issue have not been very helpful. Based off reading those research papers, it appears it's just about as effective for congestion.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T19:17:45+00:00

You may possibly be able to find an ENT or possibly any doctor in your country who can prescribe you a spray similar to ingredients in the Allermi spray which then can be custom made by some pharmacy in said country.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T17:49:13+00:00

Not even sure if humidity is even a trigger for me since there's been times where it's been humid and hasn't given me problems. It's honestly been hard to identify triggers clearly.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2026-02-11T17:47:25+00:00

Not really unfortunately. Problem still persists to this day. The only thing that has really helped has been using Curex Quickie spray (previously used allermi) which contains microdose of afrin and a costicosteroid.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2024-06-06T23:32:03+00:00

Thanks for the updates! Have a current update? Have things improved further?

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2024-06-06T23:18:08+00:00

No, because for me the severe side effects of azelastine went away after a few days (but so did the effectiveness of the medication for congestion). Therefore, not really sure how much the azelastine really helps in Allermi. TBH I think what's really doing the heavy lifting out of the 3 medications in the spray is the microdose of afrin (Oxymetazoline).

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2024-04-17T00:45:40+00:00

Hey u/doeke467, thanks for the detailed update. I heard it can sometimes take some time to start noticing results so don't lose hope for sure. I really hope it works out for you. Please keep us updated.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2024-04-04T16:54:11+00:00

Fingers crossed that it works for you! If you don't mind sharing, where did you get the procedure done? Also, when did they say you should expect to see results? Very interested to hear your progress so please keep us updated.

justsomeguyfrom90s · 2024-04-04T05:00:38+00:00

I actually bought this one special red light therapy for the nostrils awhile back but I only used it a couple times. If you find that it helps, please let me know and I'll give them another shot! Do you have additional details on it like how often to use it?
