How can i find a better alternative for nasal spray due to congestion.?

I have been using nasal menthol spray for over two weeks at least twice a day. I started using it when we had a lot of pollen but now that the pollen is gone i still can't breath at night or in the morning so i use the nasal spray. I don't want it to be habbit forming. But it seems to be the only thing that helps plus my humidifier at night.

How can i find a better alternative for nasal spray due to congestion.?
Go to a health food store that sells herbal remedies, and get an herbal nasal spray to squirt up there. You may get long term healing from that.
Reply:I assume the spray you mention has more than menthol. You have rhinitis medicamentosa. You are addicted to the spray because you get rebound congestion when you try to stop it. You need to use a nasal steroid for a week and then get off the OTC spray. You'll need an RX for the nasal steroid.
Reply:SPICY FOOD- anything with cayenne.Pepperoncini peppers-very tasy and they work. Eat spicy crawfish, hot wings...anything spicy will clear you up because it cause the nose and the eyes to run.Works for me.I have suffered with allergy and sinus problems.I feel your plight.
