Common Questions and Answers about Nasonex zyrtec

No. Emily began Nasonex at 5-supposedly much better than Flonase for kids. Jake started allergy meds in May at 19 mos. He is taking Singulair and Zyrtec. ENT thinks allergies are causing fluid build-up in his ears, leading to his frequent ear infections. My DH has terrible allergies. Jake's eyes used to just drip tears and he has what they call "allergic shiners" which are big purple bags under his eyes.

I have been on claritin, clarinex, zyrtec and xyzal. I am continuing with zyrtec now becaue of the cost of xyzal ($200/3mo) due to my healthcare selectively removing antihistamines from the formulary. Xyzal was definitely better for me than any of the others, and I have something more than the standard statement to go with that. Last week I had an allergy test done. RAST/Interdermal type.

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?

I am on allergy shots and take zyrtec daily all year long. During the spring and fall I take 2 zyrtecs. I also take Nasonex every now and then to when my nose gets very runny. This keeps me functioning but not 100% allergy free. My current biggest annoyance is ear itchiness. To the point when I scratch my inner ear 3 or 4 dozen times a day. I am concerned that I am going to injure my inner ears and wanted to know if there is any medication that will help?

About 2 days before this happened I have been taking Nasonex (nasal spray) and Zytyec (10 mg, once a day) from the doctor, if that could cause anything. Thanks in advance!

Nasonex, Rhinocort, Flonase) and a prescription antihistamine such as Zyrtec or Allegra. In cases where sinus infection persists despite this treatment, one may need to seriously consider the possibility that acid reflux is causing these symptoms and one will need to begin more aggressive treatment for acid reflux.

I went to the dr who told me i don't have an infection but gave me ceftin anyways. I am also taking zyrtec, nasonex,singular,xyzal. I still have fluid in my ears and congestion in my nose. I am flying in 13 days and am hoping that these symptoms wont affect this. Thanks!

Sorry, but I have used Claritin and Nasonex for quite a while and never had those side effects. Honestly, those sound like the allergy symptoms you are trying to treat. Many patients and doctors do not consider claritin a good antihistamine. You might want to try Zyrtec to see if that helps any. Feel better.

My 3 year old has tree, grass, and weed pollen allergies. We were on nasonex and zyrtec for two months with little help and then switched to patanase. He has been using it for two weeks now and it has been great. The last two days he has had minimal nosebleed from one nostril that looks dark red. Can we continue patanase?

I've been taking zyrtec in the mornings and I used nasonex right afterwards but it didn't really work... next morning ---- it's a bit better still hurts a bit...

Got an ok on Zyrtec!

Again, your allergist scares me not telling you to stop the Flonase when he prescribed the Nasonex. Or worse, did he even realize he was prescribing a second nasal steroid? Go to www.nasonex.com for a monthly printable coupon for $15 off your copay on that one. I would also suggest that you talk to your allergist about a better antihistimine like Zyrtec. The Waldryl would tend to make you more drowzy and has to be taken quite often. It is a first generation antihistimine.

I just started using Nasonex (steroid nasal spray), and it really helps my allergies and sinus headache, and eye-related sinus problems. But I also have PVCs and my heart pounds a lot (can feel it in my head, back, etc). I'm wondering whether Nasonex is safe to take long term if I have these heart issues. Doctor just shrugged his shoulders when I asked. Anyone know?

I hope that this will finally clear up the infection. In addition to the avelox, I am on zyrtec and nasonex for sinusitis and allergies. I also due nasal irrigation daily.

This past Sunday I cleaned out a closet in my hall and by that night I was nasally congested, headache, drip in the throat, and ran fever. I take twice daily, Zyrtec D and spray my nose before I go to bed with Nasonex. The usually treatment to get me out of this, is a vitamin/steroid shot the doctor gives me, antibotics, and 10 day treatment of steroids to get me relief. Is there anything that works besides prescription drugs? Any help is welcome. Thank you.

My son was diognosed with mild to moderate tracheomalacia. He is on Nasonex and Zyrtec to control post nasal drip and use Atravent as needed to help minimize cough. He has just come off 7 days of 30mg of Prednisone to treat severe coughing episode. I was told there isn't any other medication or treatment for him. Night time coughing is very bad for him. Even after coming off the prednisone and the breathing treatments don't help much. Is there nothing else that can be done.

This condition has dramatically affected my life, I dread sleep, I miss a lot of school, and I'm just not who I use to be anymore. I'm currently taking allergy shots and allergy medication (Zyrtec) (Nasonex). I occasionally use a neti pot. I'm beginning to doubt that allergies are the source of this problem. Is there anything else I should be doing?

I am always congested it seems and have trouble breathing through my nose. Nasonex helps some. I was prescribed symbocort because when i get real bad I can't breath through my mouth either. I was told it may be allergies. Was given Zyrtec. My sinus mucus swelled up so bad i could hardly breath and my face turned bright red. I did not take it again after that. I tried just general Benadryl and had the same reaction. Red face hard to breath through the nose.

I went to see my Family Physician, who prescribed me Nasonex and Zyrtec, but it seems as if the Zyrtec is making things WORSE! These are the most painful headaches I have EVER experienced in my life. They are about an 9.5 on a scale of 1-10 (10 being highest). What should I do?

The internist has tried Alavert, Zyrtec, Nasonex. None of them did a bit of good, except the Zyrtec reduced my eye itching. Because I have an afib episode once or twice a year, I am somewhat limited in what meds I can take (no stimulants, etc). However, when the coughing is prolonged, that itself can start frequent ectopics. I'm really exhausted by the time this is over each year, and I'm no spring chicken, so it can't be doing my health any good.

She uses Albuterol, budesonide(oral inhalers) in her nebulizer and some antiboitics(if she has fever), she takes Nasonex shots, and she uses Waldryl allergy and Zyrtec. I discussed the situation with my pediatrician and because of the blood contamination incident, we got her tested for Hep A, Hep B, Hep C and HIV after 5 months 20 days after the incident. Now she is 4 years old.

My sinuses are really irratated and I am positive it is not an infection. I take Astelin, Nasonex, Zyrtec, and Singulair everyday. I am allergic to pseudoephedrin, aspirin, amoxicillan and erythromycin. I now have build up in my chest and drainage affecting my throat and voice. Besides expertorant and nasal wash, which I have been doing are there any other suggestions.

Hi, I have really bad hayfever and I didn't like taking Claritin or Zyrtec every day all year round so I thought I'd try a saline spray, which helped so I decided to go for the big guns and try the neti pot. The first time I tried to use it, the water did not flow back out the way it was supposed to. So I learned parallel to the ground and tilted and that worked. The day after my vision flickered a little bit but I did not connect the two.

Doctor wanted me to keep him on antibiotic for 60 days and Nasonex and Afrin and Zyrtec. I think this is too much for a little boy like my son. I stopped the antiobitic on 23 days. Is it safe to keep it to 60 days? What if he has a fungal sinus infection? What should our course of action be? Please help. We are desperate at this point to help our son.

Treatment- 20 days on penicillin,to shrink the adnoids,and nasonex spray,to help the breathing during sleep. None of this helped her,so we went to go see the same ENT doctor yesterday and now he's telling us her adnoids are 90% enlarged and they need to be removed.(tonsils are normal)But she is also starting to get fluid in her ears,(said he would drain them while doing the adnoids)Do you think she was misdiagnosed 3 months ago,or is it possible for adnoids to grow that fast?

knows we are trying and prescribed Rhinocort nasal spray. Said it's safe to use during pregnancy. I've also tried Zyrtec, Allegra, Nasonex, Claritin, Flonase...the list goes on and on... and I like Rhinocort the best of any of these. I personally hate nasal sprays as I would much rather take a pill, but it works much better than anything I've tried so far. Hope that helps!!

If a sinus infection persists, the proper treatment is a broad spectrum antibiotic such as Augmentin along with a nasal steroid spray once daily (i.e. Nasonex, Rhinocort, Flonase) and a prescription antihistamine such as Zyrtec or Allegra. In cases where sinus infection persists despite this treatment, one may need to seriously consider the possibility that acid reflux is causing these symptoms and one will need to begin more aggressive treatment for acid reflux.

I have had two different courses of antibiotics (Avelox, Zithromax), have tried antihistamines (Zyrtec, Astelin), corticosteroids (Nasonex) and am unable to shake this. I've had a sinus CT scan that shows that, except for a slightly deviated septum and very slight fluid buildup in the maxillaries, everything is fine - the ENT said that surgery was not necessary, but the situation doesn't really seem to be resolving itself and I am set to study abroad next semester.
