Decongestant Nasal Sprays
(such as Afrin Original 12 Hour)
These contain a decongestant drug, such as oxymetazoline, that constricts the blood vessels in the nose to help ease drainage. They’re a good choice if a saline nasal spray isn’t helping you to breathe easier.
Cost: About $10 for one ounce.
