    I’m not a doctor, but wouldn’t someone with more than just a temporary need, get a prescription for something more long-term? Nasal decongestant is extremely effective.

    Eight+ packs a year, assuming everyone in her family is using them, is still likely in excess of what’s considered safe for long-term use. Many of those products are incredibly hard on the liver.

      Nasal decongestant is generally only supposed to be used for a few days in a row otherwise it can also start to cause damage (and one can have some type of dependency as well)
