Hi Louise

As far as I can remember, Vicks nasal spray contains menthol, so that will often sting your nose and throat a bit. Your nose and throat are connected up inside, so when you inhale something, it does eventually end up in your throat. It sounds pretty normal to me - just make sure you're not using more than the dosage on the packet.

I wouldn worry unless it stays for a very long time. Mint menthol ust be giving tingling.

I use a nasal spray and it does get into the back of my throat after a few seconds. The nasal passage and your throat are all connected, so its ok^^
