I have tried many nasal sprays, but what is really effective is a salt in water solution (slightly salty to taste) and a 10 ml syringe. Simply inject it into each nostril so that the water comes out through the mouth, a couple of times a day. Cleans out all the garbage really well.

Among the medications, Flonase spray is effective, but saltwater is enough most of the time.

Make sure you’re using sterile water for this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naegleria_fowleri?wprov=sfti1

The saline wash is also known as a Neti pot here.

It's 0.9% by mass. You can buy it easily in large bottles so you don't need to learn to disinfect and filter your water correctly.
