Axiv Sinus Severe Ultra Fine Mist is a nasal spray that helps relieve stuffiness and pressure caused by colds, allergies, or sinus issues. It works by reducing swelling in the nasal passages, making it easier to breathe. For adults and children aged 6 to under 12, the starting dose is 2 to 3 sprays in each nostril, and you can use it every 10 to 12 hours, but don’t exceed 2 doses in a 24-hour period. It's important not to use this medication for more than 3 days in a row, as doing so can make congestion worse. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure, or other specific health issues, you should talk to your doctor before using it.
