[quote=Anonymous]I think your best bet is asking her allergist or pediatrician. My child's allergist suggested upping the dose of zyrtec to 10 mg (from 5 mg), which is working well. Both are fine for his age. Also ask if another steroid spray has fewer nosebleed side effects. A saline spray will do very little for the long term. A rinse (neti pot) would actually move the stuff around/out. I understand she didn't like it before. A spray will just sort of put a little mist in the nasal lining. I now do neti pots about 3 times a week and am doing so much better than my prior approach of saline spray multiple times a day. [/quote]
