Flonase post nasal drip
Common Questions and Answers about Flonase post nasal drip

I have had asthma my whole life and when I got it (maybe a few times a month max) i'd use my inhaler and I would get that instant relief us asthmatics feel. A few years ago I had an odd experience with my asthma, my chest was tight and I was very short of breath. My inhaler didn't do anything and nebulizer treatments didn't seem to help either.
After an hour I felt better but from that day on my breathing/asthma has never been the same.
There are many reasons for post nasal drip and tinnitus. If your nose is still running, could it be sinusitis? Do notice any weird smells from your nose? Headaches? A chronic sinus infection will cause post nasal drip. But it could be that one month with Flonase isn't long enough to get your symptoms under control. I would say 2 months would be more reasonable to decide if there is something else. this type of therapy takes a while for things to set in.
Phase one: Flonase nasal spray several weeks along with Albuterol
Phase Two: Added Flovent inhaler, along with course of Z Pack antibiotic (2 weeks)
Phase Three: Protonix 40MG once per day along with Allerx twice per day (3 weeks)
Phase Four: Added Astelin nasal spray and double Protonix dosage (10 days)
Testing:
Normal Chest XRAY
Normal CT Scan Sinus
Pending:
Barium Swallow
So, nothing is helping and the sensations are very troubling.
In an effort to fight off the post nasal drip, I did some research and found that to kill the post-nasal drip from allergies, try the Flonase allergy spray. So, I went and got some yesterday and did the 2 puffs up the nose twice yesterday. So imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning and my tonsils, both of them, were swollen to where it was hard to swallow.
ve had nonstop post nasal drip. Now my jaws top and bottom get achy at times and It sometimes travels down my neck. My throat feels irritated and when I eat it feels like a lump or tight. The thyroid is not causing this. I started Flonase a few days ago and Allegra. My question is should I be worried that it's throat cancer or something serious. I would think having 2 thyroid ultrasounds something would be seen. Also no swollen glands or lymph nodes. I'm scared to death.
t really help much. My friend is a doctor so he thought it was post nasal drip, without seeing her he had her try Flonase. It seemed like she could be on extending non-coughing periods but she still does it. Now it's getting annoying and we have a baby on the way and it's making me feel uncomfortable to think she will be handling the baby.
She doesn't speak well enough to tell me all of the symptoms. But from what I observed she's not sneezing a lot.
I have chronic post nasal drip. I've had it for several years. The ENT told me I have a narrow passage and mild deviated septum. He told me Flonase wouldn't help me much. So I just take allergy meds and use saline when needed. But the past month I have been getting these pains/headache above my left eye, actually above my eyebrow. It comes and goes several times a day. It only last 30 seconds to maybe a couple minutes but I was thinking it was due to sinuses or allergies?
Myself, I started having sinus issue only recently about 2-3 years. I have post nasal drop 2-3x per week. Sometime mild and sometime very bad. I have all kind of allergy meds and snose spray Nasonex, which works good most of time.
Last night, when my son cough so much. And I was so deperate; I gave him my Nasonex 1 buff in each nostril and he stop coughing in about 5 mins. It's mirracle to me.
I have post nasal drip and also an upset stomach a lot of the time. When my stomach is sick, the only way to help it feel better is to eat. But then that doesn't last too long. Do you think my upset stomach is de to the dripping? What do you think is the best remedy for this?
Thank you -

I had post nasal drip for almost 3 weeks. My nose was not runny nor did I feel stuffed up, I now have a mild sore throat no more drip, but phlem and it's clear also the bumps on the back of my tongue appear to be raised on both sides but one side a little more than the other. Does this sound like a sinus infection?
Around April last year I had a bad sinus infection, triggered by seasonal allergies. I had a bad post nasal drip, and although the sinus didn't feel blocked, XRays showed it was. I was experiencing facial tightness and tingling sensation around the same time as my sinus issues started. It was also a highly stressful period in my life. I had multiple courses of steroids, antibiotics, over the counter medication, the sinus issue remains.
Does anyone suffer from chronic post nasal drip? If so, what have you found that helps? I have had it for yrs. Yrs ago before my surgery my PCP did a ct scan to check bc i had chronic sinus infections. Everything came back normal. My NS said my surgery may help my sinus problems. It hasnt. Zyrtec, benedryl, OTC sinus meds - nothing helps or relieves it. I vomit a lot and think the PND is the cause of some of it. Terrible gag reflex too.
However, a couple of weeks ago, I have realised that I have been experiencing post nasal drip. I am not sure if it is caused by the dry mouth, or if the dry mouth is causing it. Regardless, if I don't swallow frequently, mucus builds up at the back of my throat. I cannot seem to spit it out, and I have to swallow it.
Also, if I talk for too long, or go without drinking water for too long, my tongue dries up.

He said my nose is swollen and they also did a throat swab which detected no bacterial infection. I am wondering if my post nasal drip is caused by just inflammation of the nose due to any other reasons. The only one i have been able to come up with is picking my nose too roughly? Also its been 8 days since the problem first started or the symptom appeared. I dont have a stuffy nose in the day no itchy eyes, and the drainage is not very bad. Im wondering how long before this will clear up.
ME TOO!!!
I have battled the PND for years.I have to be really careful not to catch a cold because it can last months and months due to the wonderful enviroment my PND has provided.
I would agree that psuedoephidrine is great for drying up and alleviating cough but now available only on script.
The TCM equivalent is Ephedra.I have also had some success with clearing the sinuses with acupuncture.
It is also definitly worth stopping both dairy and gluten products in the diet .
I have had post-nasal drip/chronic sinusitis/chronic bronchitis for all my very long life. I used to get 2 or three coughs a year that lasted for weeks, sometimes ending in pleurisy. I went to doctors, and eventually had to diagnose my problem myself: my sinuses were dripping down my throat and becoming infected and causing the cough. Eventually I had a CTscan of my sinuses and the official diagnosis: Chronic sinusitis.
Hi, I went to the clinic few days ago and the doc said that I might have post nasal drip because I spit out mucus,stuffy nose,cough,sneeze,....He gave me a nasal spray and said that if it doesn't work come back for allergy testing.How long would it take for this medication to work ? and if this medication doesn't work how many weeks or months should I wait to see the doc ? Thanks
He also ask me if I have any allergies but I couldn't answer because I don't know ;0.
