Nasonex and sudafed

Common Questions and Answers about Nasonex and sudafed

nasonex

I've had such a tough time with sinus headaches, allergies (watery eyes, plugged ears and tinnitus) and fatigue that I finally went to an ear-nost-throat doctor last week. He put me on Nasonex, a steroid nasal spray, to reduce the inflammation. I also hear my heartbeat in my ear at times, and he's hoping that a month on Nasonex will stop that. If not, he'll do a CT scan and other work to see what's going on. Here's my question: Are any of you using something like Nasonex or Flonase?

Try Sudafed / Sudafed PE for 3 days and see if it helps. I have the exact same issue as you do and the Sudafed is the ONLY medicine that actually helps me.

My left ear stopped ringing right after that it was great and relieving. Then they prescribed me on a stronger antibiotic called Ceruflexine Axetil and also Nasonex. Apparently the doctor said I soundded like I have a sinus infection. She said I sounded congested in the nasal area which I didn't even realize. So then when I got home I noticed that my other ear (the right ear) now is ringing a little bit but it didn't feel nowhere near clogged as my left one did.

What I want to know is would a blocked eustachin tube cause me to have pressure pain in the nasal cavity? I've tried Nasonex but made symptoms worse, Telfast didn't do much and sudafed didn't help either. It's really getting me down and I can't lead a normal life right now so please help. Thank you.

nasal rinsing with a neti pot or bottle helps a lot, and so does medication - from benedryl/sudafed/dimetapp to better prescription drugs to stop the congestion - nasonex, singulair, and inhalers to relax the lungs like advair, pulmacort, albuterol.

It doesn't seem to really be affecting my hearing. I have had my ears cleaned (no wax) tried Flonase, Anefrin, Sudafed, every other nasal decongestant and am currently on Augmentin & Nasonex. My ear feels like it has water in it and sometimes make odd noises when I lay on my right side and swallow (sounds like fizzing). I seem to remember having this before but only for a couple days or so but this lasted months.

I would ask your physician to prescribe a decongestant and/or another antihistamine, i.e. Sudafed PE and/or Astelin Nasal Spray if the Nasonex isn't working.

if you are sneezing and stuffy, take sudafed, it has to be the regular staight sudafed, it can not be sudafed PE, my RE and ob gyn told me the sudafed PE decreases blood supply to the uterus, but straight sudafed is perfectly fine. I dont know about other states but in new york you actually have to go to the pharmacist to get the sudafed, as people were abusing it to make meth, so they have to take your drivers license info down..

She could try taking Sudafed at the same time as the Benadryl. Sudafed tends to keep a lot of people awake, and for me counteracts the sleepy effect of Benadryl or Chlor-trimeton.I have never tried allergy shots. I have a friend who is much older, and she has given herself allergy shots at home for years, and swears by them.

I am suffering right now and i am taking clarinex and nasonex. (bad during pg) but i am in 2ww so i am not going to stop my meds until bfp. GOod luck girl!! I feel your pain..

I am tired of it and feel that it will eventually diminish my hearing. I am always asking people to repeat. I have been to 2 ENT, and no help. Taken Nasonex, claritin, sudafed but no help. Please advice as to what might help???

I have also been having vertigo issues for the past nine months or so. Have tried several medications such as Zyrtec D, Flonase, Nasonex, Xyzal....also nasal rinses, and some vitamins and herbs...nothing works for long. Today the doc decided to start testing me for allergies to try to get to the root of the fluid and swelling in my ears. Your results sound interesting. I have in the past from time to time has what I think are fever blisters around the corners of my mouth.

Nose bleeds are a common side effect so a different brand may help better. Others are ayamys, nasacort, or nasonex, plus many others. Nasal rinsing using a neti pot or neil med sinus rinse may also help flush out anything that is in your sinuses and there is a much lower risk of bleeding since there is no medication, it's just pure saline.

When I went to the doctor, he said he saw no problems other than in my left sinuses which he assumed was the problem for my ear ache/runny nose/sore throat, etc. I've been taking nasonex, sudafed, and just today stopped taking my amoxicillin pills. My problem is that now I have no ear infection, but I have a LOT of bright green mucus in my nose, and I have a persistent cough every time I take a deep breath and even when I'm talking for more than a few seconds.

Some days I do have a slight off balance feeling when upright but nothing too bad. I have taken sudafed and nasonex with no results. Im thinking maybe it could be BVVP I think is what it is called, but could it last this long? I have no health insurance so I am reluctant to go to an ENT. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've had sinus issues before resulting in the head blocked feeling or the throat problems or fever/infection but never all that pain. I tried many things during this time - mucinex, claritin, allegra, zyrtec, sudafed. Eventually I just settled on half a zyrtec once a day. The Claritin made me anxious, the Allegra gave me dry eyes, the Sudafed made my sinuses worse. Most of this occurred Feb 18th til about Feb 28th or 29th. Around that time my throat swelled up one final time really badly.

After 8 months an ENT said that my nasal passage had inflamation and prescribed nasonex. This helped right away and the congestion and cough went away. Thus, when the congestion lingered this time (thick yellow mucos when I blowed my nose), I called my family doctor to get a prescription for nasonex. This helped my nose but I then got a persistent tickly cough that was worse at night. Now a month and a half later, the cough and tickles occur all the time.

I have taken everything that my doctors have recommended and everything that they haven’t – Mucinex, Sudafed, Benadryl, Claritin, Tylenol Sinus, etc, etc. Antihistamines help a little but only for a few hours, and because of my job I can’t afford to be tired or loopy during the day. Mucinex has been working the best (taking it every night before bed), but it’s not taking it away. I’m still waking up with the draining and feeling very sick to my stomach.

I feel like yawning but I can't follow through with it. I'm on Advair, Albuterol, Singulair and Nasonex. I'm also coughing a lot, with difficulty taking deep breaths, and pain in left side of back. It's affecting my ability to sleep, my peace of mind. I am feeling some shortness of breath, and clearing my throat a lot too. I have a recent history of dizziness and lightheadedness that occured before this episode.

I can feel the flutter in my throat behind the adams apple area. It interups my speach and breathing. For allergies I am on Nasonex, Zyrtec and sudafed.I had a sinus opperation 2 years ago to scrape out right sinus and straighten deviated septom. I need relief. Any ideas?

I've tried nasal irrigation with a Neti pot, Nasonex, Breathe Right strips, Sudafed, and breathing exercises. All have been effective at times, and all have failed me at others. Lately I've noticed a correlation between coffee consumption and bad nights. It may just be that coffee makes me more edgy and likely to be awakened by breathing difficulties, but caffeinated teas don't seem to have that effect.

She is taking no medication except Sudafed, Nasonex, and Patanase for a little congestion that her regular doctor noticed (and because allergy season is pending). When the headache gets bad, she takes two Advil.

I am taking Allegra OTC and pharm SudaFed and cough syrup and I'm still miserable and symptomatic all day/night. I rarely sleep because I can't breathe and when it becomes completely unbearable and I'm running a sleep deficit that precludes my being an effective mom/wife/employee I snort some Afrin and keel over from exhaustion. I need help to figure this out, I'm 44, female, seasonal allergies in the past decade but nothing major or prior.

I take nasonex but what seems to help is neilmed bottle rinses 3 times a day

-/ started nasonex a week ago, stopping today as it is not helping imo.

its clear, but with small green chunks (sorry, gross but no other way to describe it) its driving me nuts..and i keep thinking maybe it will just go away. I ve been on Nasonex for about a month now..and its not helping.. anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of this or what could be causing it..i dont have any allergies that i know of thanks!

Generally prescription steroid nasal sprays, like Nasonex or Rhinocort, are used; saline nasal washes can help. Sudafed could be tried. You might want to consult an ENT. See: http://www.nationaljewish.org/medfacts/allergic_rhinitis.html Allergic and Non-Allergic Rhinitis http://www.nationaljewish.org/medfacts/nasal.html Nasal Wash http://www.nationaljewish.org/medfacts/sin.

and he stopped me from all decongestents (like sudafed) and perscribed nasonex- i hope that helps also- oh he also said to keep using the 'netti-pot' (run salt solution thru sinus while in shower). that helps keep sinus inflamation down and helps with nagging headaches.

l nasal irrigate once a day and use nasonex spray once a day as well, can't stand it right now so have taken an antihistamine which has not done anything!!!! l am allergic to oral cortisone and sudafed makes me really jumpy inside my body' l am also very allergic to raw carrots, celery and kiwi fruit.....
