If you have experienced any adverse side effects after using a nasal spray containing zinc, it is recommended that you see your doctor.

The FDA does not test for safety or efficacy on cold remedies like Zicam and Cold-Eeze that contain soluble zinc. It has been known for decades that zinc compounds can cause side effects such as nasal nerve damage.
