Nasal sprays are often a safer and more effective option for easing congestion, especially in children, compared to oral medicines. Most of us have tried saline sprays at some point, and they remain a trusted remedy because they are simple, natural, and gentle on the body.

How it works
Saline sprays typically contain 0.65% sodium chloride. This solution helps keep the nasal passages moist while clearing away excess mucus. By drawing water into the nasal tissues, it loosens thick secretions, making it easier to breathe. It also rinses out dust, allergens, and other irritants that can trigger stuffiness or discomfort. The result is clearer airways and reduced irritation.

Safe for children
Because saline sprays are free from preservatives and alcohol, they are mild enough for young children. They can be used regularly without causing dependency or irritation, offering parents a safe choice for relief when kids are congested.

Best times to use

  • Before bedtime to promote comfortable sleep.
  • During travel, especially in dry, air-conditioned environments.
  • Whenever the nose feels dry or irritated.
    For hygiene, the spray nozzle should be cleaned regularly. In cases of severe dryness, lukewarm water rinses can also provide relief.

Common concerns it helps with

  • Blocked or stuffy nose
  • Dry nasal passages
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Sinus pressure and discomfort
  • Postnasal drip

In short, saline nasal sprays provide a safe, soothing, and non-medicated way to keep breathing easy for both children and adults.

I am a chronic rhinitis patient. I often use nasal spray. My doctor had advised to first use the saline nasal spray, so that the nasal tract will be clear. Then use the medicated nasal spray.
