How do I use nasal spray correctly?

Question

The doc prescribed nasal spray for the fluid in my ears. How do I use it correctly? It just runs down my throat as soon as I spray it, and that won't help my ears. Thanks.

Answer 1

i heard that it works better through your a**s

Answer 2

You are supposed to spray it in one nostrail while closing the other and inhale deeply at the same time, than do the same with the other. Depening on what kind you have, doing that might get in your head, and give you a funny headache for a few seconds, and the taste will be in your throat for a couple of minutes.

Answer 3

You are using it properly, it is normal for some to run down the back of your throat.
