My nasal passages are clogged horribly. I've been sucking on as sugar-free
menthol drop as I go to bed.

Do any of my sleep-disorder friends have any have with this?

And, for my other toothsome friends, do think that lozenge will hurt my
teeth or gums? I only use 3 or 4, at the most, a day. Thanks.

Sugar free things shouldn't hurt your teeth or gums but depending on the
sweetener used, they could have a laxative effect.

You might try a Neti pot. It's a device for putting warm salt water in your
sinuses to clean things out.

Once or twice I had a congestion problem and I just turned the
humidifier off so that it blew cold air, which was irritating but also
drying. It seemed to help.

Strangely, on the standard government-mandated nutrition label, "zero" does not
mean "none". A "serving" of one lozenge is listed as having "zero" grams of
sugar, and "zero" carbs" yet each drop has 5 calories of SOMETHING. As usual,
do everything in moderation, and you should be fine.
