Be careful with this stuff, you can develop rebound effect. But it is instant and it last for about 12 hours. If it opens you up, then it isn't anything with your lungs unless you are coughing up thick dark nasty stuff.

Look 171: Thanks - I had never heard of "Afrin" but will "look" into it.
I took some Dristan caplets this morning that I found in the bottom of one of my bathroom vanity drawers....they don't make this particular formulation anymore so I'm hoping it will provide some clearing action until I can get to the drug store to acquire more pharmaceuticals.
I must say though - the Vapo Rub I smeared on my throat last night I believe did help so there's something everyone can keep in mind who also are afflicted with this malady.
Onward....
