WanderWonder Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 l got a antihistamine spray for my nose. The spray that comes out of it is pretty strong. I primed it and have been using it for a few days, but it's still a strong mist. Today when I used it per instructions, not pointing toward the middle and looking down, I felt it shoot up and hit the back of my eye socket. My eye isn't in pain, but it feels like it experienced trauma, and when I blink it feels similar to an eyelash being stuck under my eyelid? It also immediately turned a bit red (I've noticed my eye being more pinkish since I started using it). Is that normal? I'm kind of scared to keep using it if it is damaging my eye. Any experiences with how to angle it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WanderWonder Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 @Pistol Well yeah, I read a ton of articles on how to use it correctly. None of them stated anything about feeling a pressure in the eyeballs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 @WanderWonder - this is something that you should discuss with your doctor, he/she can examine your eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderWonder Posted December 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 @Pistol I don't think the doctor will find anything. I'm guessing at a certain angle our eye connects to our nose. Sometimes when I use a netipot bottle, water comes out of my eyeball. Just seeing if anyone else had that same experience. In any case, I've been not pressing down on the spray bottle as hard.
