I have a cold, probably some crud that Boaty picked up at preschool. She's had it for almost two weeks but she's happy, it must not be bothering her. It's giving me a sore throat and a lot of congestion. I miss breathing freely.

Caution - only use it at night. Twice daily if you HAVE to.

It can be addicting to your nasal skin cells. If you use it too much and then stop, you get rebound congestion and have to live like that for a while before it returns to normal. I can breathe through my mouth all day but I'd rather die than breathe through my mouth and try to sleep.
