How does nasal spray actually work?

I’ve realised nasal spray is more of an illusion of having an unblocked nose but the pressure is still there, but what actually goes on to clear the nose?

Imagine your nose is like a little tunnel where air goes in and out. Sometimes, this tunnel can get blocked because of tiny things like boogers or swollen blood vessels.

A nasal decongestant is like a superhero spray. When you use it, it tells those swollen blood vessels to shrink, just like when a balloon gets smaller. This makes more space in your nose tunnel for air to flow freely, and that helps you breathe better! So, it’s like a magic spray that helps your nose feel better and not stuffy anymore.
