How often can I use a saline nasal spray?
Follow the pack, which will say. Saline sprays are gentle and are generally used more freely than medicated ones, but the instructions are there for a reason.
Are these suitable for children?
Some are and some are not, and the age varies by product. Check the individual pack and ask a pharmacist if you are unsure.
When should I see a GP?
If symptoms persist for more than a couple of weeks, worsen, or come with anything that worries you. These are products for minor, short-lived complaints.
Can I use an inhalant while pregnant?
Check with your midwife or a pharmacist first. Several essential oils are not recommended during pregnancy.
