Seems a simple nasal spray should break up the formation of those bad germs.

“Seems a simple nasal spray should break up the formation of those bad germs.”

If you’re talking about covid, it isn’t a germ, it’s a virus and has no known medication to stop it. It does form and expand in the sinus and throat, but the continual use of nasal sprays and saline can damage the tissue in the sinuses.

Nasal spray addiction is not a true “addiction,” but it can lead to tissue damage inside the nose. This can result in swelling and long-term stuffiness that leads to further use and overuse of the spray. In some cases, a person may need to undergo additional treatment, and possibly surgery, to correct any damage. Overuse is common. In 2014, researchers found that out of 895 participants with nasal congestion, half of them overused their medication. So salt and nasal sprays can lead to more problems.
