Best Answer

Yes. The things in nasal spray won't make you sick. You could drink a whole bottle of the stuff and be unaffected. Almost all the the "stuff" in nasal spray is water. The other ingredients, depending on which brand and such, are designed for use in the nasal passages and will not harm the lungs if they are inhaled completely. They certainly won't affect your digestive tract.

Nasal spray was never intended to be swallowed. You might consider contacting your local poison control agency asap if this is so.

All outdated (expired) medication, whether it was issued by a prescription or bought over the counter, should be discarded soon after the expiration date.

Call the poison control center instead of asking for advice from random people on the internet.

There are lots of different "nasal sprays" with varying effects, and the poison control center people know what's in each of them and what you need to do (which may vary from "nothing, you just drank salt water" to "get to an emergency room immediately").

No. As Ocean Nasal Spray only contains salt and water, and none of the chemicals that are found in some other brands, it is as safe as sea water.

What do you call a Dried mucus in the nose?

The nasal passages are supposed to create some moisture, but when there is drainage that doesn't actually drain, it will become dry. You can help prevent this by using a nasal saline spray or a neti pot. A neti pot is shaped similar to an Aladdin's lamp, with a spout that fits inside the nasal passage. You simply fill it with warm salt water, then with your head bent over and tilted to the side over the sink, you first flush one side, then do the other side the same way. This flushes allerges, etc. from the nasal passages, as well as excess mucous (more detailed instructions come with the neti pot). It also helps keep the nasal passages moist, which doctors recommend. But a bottle of nasal saline spray works well too, and can be taken with you and used anywhere. And both can be used as often as you need.


Is there any way for a projectile entering the nose to reach the brain?

of course. nose spray is a deadly inhalationism of toxic fluticasone furoate, that is, only if you breathe too hard. it is recommended to breathe after the spray has been applicated to the nasal area. what most people don't know is that your brain locates some of its parts to the top of your nasal airways, avoiding the main airway ventilation portifiatormententa. if the knozzle of the nose spray is too lengthy it may accidentally touch the outer colopoluss of your brain. when this happens, fatal effects may/will follow. so be careful and aware of the harmful and sometimes fatal effects of nose spray. Another Answer It is not possible to reach the brain with a nasal spray nozzle. They are long enough. The spray itself might be able to reach the brain but not the nozzle. The FDA would not approve the use of nasal sprays if the nozzle were so long as to touch the brain because it would pose a major safety hazard.


Does any increase in the body's temperature cause more nose picking?

It doesn\'t appear that an increase in the body temperature will cause more nose picking. If you find that your nose is constantly feeling stuffed, you can use a saline spray, or a nasal spray to help get some relief. You should also speak to your doctor to see what they recommend.

If you have had four nosebleeds some in the back of the throat that you believe have been caused by the dry air where you live should you use a nasal spray like Afrin?

It is not uncommon to develop nose bleeds and ear problems when relocating to a place that has a very dry climate. The high altitude also plays a significant part. You would be much better off with a saline nasal spray. Afrin will only dry the mucus membranes of the nose out further. If you don't improve within 7-10 days or if your condition worsens. It would be a good idea to consult a doctor.
