If you're using a nasal spray that contains a decongestant like phenylephrine or pseudoephedrine, Dr. Grant Fowler at the U.T. School of Medicine in Houston says you may find you have a problem when you try to stop. 

"If you use it for more than a couple of days, your nose can get hooked on it, so to speak.  It won't be able to 'open up' without it."

Fowler thinks a prescription should be required for these kinds of medicines, because people can so easily overuse them.  He says if someone comes into the doctor's office who has been using a decongestant nasal spray for months, they will generally be weaned to a steroid nasal spray.

"It helps take the inflamation out, and works especially well against allergies, so you don't get the inflamation and don't need the decongestant."

Fowler says saline drops have no negative side effects, can can be used for as long as you wish.
