Ok...I've been using daily for 6 mos. I use around a half Oz a week. My nose is so fucked, but only one side. I don't favor that side, I actually try to baby it. I do saline and water irrigation/rinses faithfully a few times a day. I use Vaseline to TRY and protect mucous membranes. But...to not much avail. I dont get nosebleeds anymore thankfully but my right nostril and sinus are so painful, red, irritated, like a blister. When I look into my nose I can see it looks necrotic, infected, deteriorating. Im on a 21 day round of antibiotics and a steroid taper, which has helped immensely but still looks and feels scary. I have swelling on that right side too. Just along the nostril path. I know this can turn into an orbital eye infection and possibly spread to the brain. I've done all the research and know all that could happen. Just puzzled as to why the left is fine but not the right. I'm not interested in stopping yet. But because I've done the research and know what can happen to your nose, palate, and body im scared... but not scared enough yet clearly. Any advice on why one nostril? Or other things I can do to stop the seeming deterioration? Thank you in advance.
 
There is a nasal spray compound calculator. Use sterile water or saline.

I use a Vicks Sinex 15ml nasal sprayer. 8 ball in filter out anything that doesn’t dissolve.

Leave the label on and you can use without anyone knowing.

Also. Rinsing your sinuses after you’re done using dilutes the HCL acid that is destroying your nose.

Thank you so much for your genuine replies. I will definitely try both of your recommendations. On the nasal spray approach, could you expand a little on filtering out anything that doesn't dissolve? Any other tips on that approach would be much appreciated. Thanks
