Saline Nasal Spray Helps with Allergies

Runny nose or stuffy nose is body’s response to allergen it has come in contact with. Most of the time in allergic reaction there isn’t thick mucus that blocks the nose but the inflammation of tissues causing the stuffiness.

How Saline Nasal Sprays Work

Saline nasal sprays are essentially saltwater solutions that help moisturize the nasal mucosa and clear out mucus.

They work by:

1. Thinning mucus: By loosening and removing excess mucus, saline sprays can reduce congestion and stuffiness.
2. Reducing inflammation: The anti-inflammatory properties of saline can help calm and soothe the nasal passages, making them less reactive to allergens. Room humidifiers can be installed to reduce the irritation caused by dry air.
3. Rinsing out allergens: Saline sprays can help flush out pollen, dust, or other allergens from the nasal passages, reducing irritation and discomfort.

Saline Nasal Sprays help in treating the symptom but doesn’t curb body’s response to allergen for that antihistamine medications are needed and, in some cases, steroids are used. Both of these are used in oral and spray form. Best part is that saline spray are safest for babies. Also seriously consider air purifiers and room humidifier.
