The one time I asked a doctor to help me stop, he gave me a spray with cortisone. I am still on the nose spray. It's true that people who use nasal sprays feel so good with them they tend to use them longer than the three-day limit listed on the label. As the effect wears off, small blood vessels in the nose can expand, causing congestion and stuffiness. This feeling is so uncomfortable that the use of the nasal spray is continued.
Drug dependency can result.
Eventually it can damage the mucous membrane of the nasal passages. Your rebound effect of congestion has gone on way too long. 882-7000 to make an appointment with a University of Missouri Health Sciences Center physician. One reference calls this procedure LAST or Laser-Assisted Serial Tonsillectomy. It is performed in an office setting using local anesthesia and a laser to burn away tonsils.
