Yes I think its getting better slowly I suggest you son stop using it or use it less frequently. Instead keep the nostrils hydrated with a humidifier or warm cloth, hot showers/steam. Refrain from messing with it (like excessive blowing). I think its really been helping me!

@hcgardner1-good to read that you are getting relief from natural remedies. Congestion can be very frustrating and is caused by many many things. Even when the reason for the congestion has subsided we can still remain in a congested state until the nerves and blood vessels relax to their original state( the autonomic nervous system calms).
It is very tempting to want to use nasal sprays, especially steroids during this time. The nasal tissue is very different than any other tissue. Is truly delicate and operates in a finite way. Topical solutions to the mucosa can be damaging in ways that many people do not realize until much after the fact.
Best to use all natural remedies you can find for soothing and calming, while understanding the root cause to your congestion, which could be anything from hormones, blood pressure, medications, stress, or external stimuli, such as dry weather.
