The Ouzo Posted July 29, 2020 Share My GP told me to use A Vogel's throat spray also as it will assist with the nasal drip and sore throat..My GP tried a bucket load of prescription meds for me over the years. Nothing worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ouzo Posted July 29, 2020 Share I use a prescription nasal spray called Omnair.Any form of non drowsy antihistaminesaline nasal rinses and sprays on and off to keep the passages clean and prevent dry nose and blood noses.Andolex-C Throat spray when needed and if push really comes to shove - iliaden.i hate the stuff. especially because of its rebound effect.but sometime i get desperate enough and break downWhen I met my wife she was addicted to nasal sprays, couldnt go an hour without it.Eventually she switched to a non medicated spray and slowly stopped using them all together. For that reason alone I stay away from the stuff unless really needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCreamMan Posted July 29, 2020 Share Kelvin power stationAECI modderfonteinTriomf Mines Those were the culprits when i was growing up in the metropolis of kempton park. Guess with the growing populations of alex and soweto and diepsloot etc where open fires are both a source of heat and for cooking in winter are a source these days. Air pollution has been recorded as being responsible for around 6 million premature deaths per year. Its the trade off of commerce and life. Far more than covid but look which one gets the attention. Edit: As we well know, Rock n Roll aint noise pollution but noise pollution has been estimated to kill about 200 000 ppl a year. Light pollution kills millions of animals and affects the climate in drastic ways....we dont seem to care.

Paul Ruinaard Posted July 29, 2020 Share Yep Yep. Especially now with the weather being what it is and the high pressure the air is very dry and as a result my nasal passages are like cracked river beds. The Hayfever city is also as a result of the cold air. Then you get pollen season from Spring. As suggested i use a saline spray to moisten my nose when i can and it does help. When it gets really bad i go to a cortisone spray called Avamys which then helps the nasal passages - and i normally stay on that when i start until the rainy season is in full swing and its dampened down the dust. Another thing i have noticed is that since i changed to a more banting diet my hayfever and allergic reactions were reduced. Use it or not....

Chris_ Posted February 19, 2021 Share I have read this has been an issue for a few days now apparently the problem is coming from Secunda Ja, all the rain and clouds we've had the last couple weeks is causing the gases (hydrogen sulphide if I remember correctly) from increased production at Secunda to be 'trapped' underneath. (this seems to be the consensus) Then I assume the wind being exacerbated by the Moz storm are just pushing the gas clouds towards GP. Everyone I know is having allergy type reactions, and those of us with asthma are sucking down air a little harder... Its not great. Gen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
