Severe Congestion
If you are finding it hard to breathe through your nose, you may want to try a medicated decongestant nasal spray to unblock your nose. Ask your pharmacist about a preservative-free decongestant like Flo Rapid Relief Nasal Spray.
Indication
Flo Saline Plus is indicated to provide relief from nasal congestion because its gentle formulation helps keep your nose clean and clear of mucus. Nasal congestion may result from many different causes, including:
Colds
Even a simple cold can temporarily damage the nasal lining. This in turn effects the normal mucus clearing systems within the nose and can make you feel snuffly and congested. Flo Saline Plus helps to thin mucus and wash it away to relieve congestion. This also helps the body’s own mucus clearing systems to clear mucus more easily.
Hayfever
The usual symptoms of hayfever include sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itchy & watery eyes, and cough. Flo Saline Plus helps to wash away allergy causing pollens and other airborne irritants and this may assist in reducing your symptoms of hayfever.
In cases of severe nasal congestion, consider using a medicated preservative-free decongestant spray like Flo Rapid Relief 5-10 minutes before using Flo Saline Plus. This may help to unblock your nose quickly and improve the effectiveness of your saline spray. Ask your pharmacist for more information.
Pregnancy Rhinitis
A blocked nose in pregnancy can be very uncomfortable. The reason this occurs in pregnancy is not yet known. Unfortunately nasal congestion can be so severe it results in mouth breathing and snoring while sleeping. If you suffer from this problem, always seek medical advice from your doctor.
Flo Saline Plus can help to provide temporary relief of nasal congestion. Ensure you exercise regularly, do not smoke and consider raising the head of your bed or using extra pillows.
