ENT said eustachian tube dysfunction due to allergies (tested positive for various inhalent allergies) and said to use Xyzal and Flonase. Xyzal made me too sleepy so stopped, and Flonase has done nothing. ENT said it would take Flonase a month to clear up the ETD. The constant ear popping wouldn't bother me if it weren't accompanied by the lightheadedness and brain fog, which sometimes by the end of the day turns into a very bad headache and then disappears.
I do have a NetiPot and it works great! I'm not sure about the steroids, I've only been put on them once so that they could loosen my air passages (I was only on it for 5 days, 20mg x2 a day). So, I'm not sure. Usually Z-Packs do the trick, and that's an antibiotic.
The only thyroid related test results of my physical in September 2010 was:
TSH, (3rd Generation) (High Sensitivity): 0.32
T4, Free, Thyroxine, Free, Direct: 1.2
There was no mention of FT3 or FT4. TSH is there as stated above.
No, I'm not on any steroids unless you want to consider Flonase, which is a nasal spray for hayfever and that wouldn't cause a puffy moon face or enlarged neck.
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.
I have had a phlegm cough for a while now as well, i went to the doctor and he gave me anobolic steroids for my sinuses and they worked very well. My cough and my phlegm build up stopped. But ive stopped taking the steroids because they dont agree with me. I think the phlegm build up is caused buy sinuses not working correctly. I've also noticed dairy produce like milk and cheese doesnt help it either. Im going to see if the doctor can prescribe something a bit better. Ill keep you informed.
t been feeling well. You can always call and ask your doctor these questions for guidance. Flonase is known to reduce nasal inflammation over time. The best thing is to blow your nose prior to using it and then wait as long as you possibly can before blowing your nose again. The longer you wait, the better chance the Flonase has of being absorbed into your nasal cavity. The most common recommendation is 15 to 30 minutes to wait to blow your nose after using.

//www.rxlist.com/flonase-drug.htm. Is this prescribed to decreases swelling or to attend to the sinus issue contributing to the swelling?
Hello. I have been experiencing moderate to severe postnasal drip and ringing in the ears. Moved to Chicago several years ago from Phoenix so the doctor suggested that I may be suffering from allergies as a result. Blood test confirmed grass allergy. Have been using Flonase (SP?) for about 1 month coupled with nasal rinsing system but still have the ringing and drainage. Should I be worried about another culprit besides allergies causing these awful symptoms??
first two were done 20-25 yrs ago. Went on 20mg/day oral steroids cause asthma not controlled with Advair 500, Flonase and Singulair. Titrating down now/ 2 weeks. Every time try to sinus rinse, goes in ears. Tried sinus flush method, went in ears and hurts. Do I find the best clinic in country for this and f/u with local ENT, or go to a 3rd ENT here in Central Il. and hope for best? Where do I go? How do I find out why my immune system got whacked?
I generally take Flonase. About a week ago the allergies and sinuses really got a hold of me and i had horrible sinus pressure, felt really spacey, had ear fullness and pain, felt a little off but no ear infection. I got put on a antibiotic. I then just started the Flonase back up. One day i felt short of breath off and on. I also took a Zyrtec. I almost went to the hospital because i felt bad and felt like my allergies/ sinuses were causing it. I also have anxiety.
Cluster headache usually responds to similar migraine preventative drugs and can often be brought under better control temporarily by steroids or nerve blocks. Many patients also respond to inhaled 100 percent oxygen while others benefit from topical anesthetic applied inside the nose, injected or nasal triptans. If the present medications are not helping, she can also try complementary and alternative medicine such as biofeedback therapy or acupuncture to help provide relief.
Twice in the last six months using Flonase my mouth filled with blood from sinuses. Is another medication for sinusitis available?
I've had an upper respiratory infection for about a week. Went to the doctor this morning with severe ear pain, no infection, just inflammation due to the other infection. Was recommended Flonase, rest, and fluids. After I came home and took the Flonase I've had this really weird fizzing sensation off and on at the back of my throat all day. It feels like a handful of poprocks are at the top of my throat/back of my mouth. It's a really weird suggestion.
I'm also taking Fluticasone Propionate and have the very same issue. I think it's because the nasal spray dries out the nasal cavity. At first, I started having bloody noses, but then that stopped and this current symptom started. My doctor had said it may make the nose very dry and to try saline solution once daily after the Flonase. I have yet to do that, but it's supposed to help. Hope that helps.
s unfortunate when medication costs so much sometimes that we have to find an alternative. Flonase and Astepro are likely the right names. Flonase is a corticosteroid spray and Astepro is an antihistamine spray. Dymista is a combination medication so it makes sense that the doctor is suggesting the two medications will work as the Dymista did. Let us know how it goes.
I have been taking the medicine (Flonase) for a month now but still have a sore throat on and off. He never swabbed my throat either. What could this be? The sore throat is there one day and the next day it's gone. The back of my throat is really red and looks swollen. Could this be a bacterial infection or something from giving oral? Thanks in advance!
I cant talk too much, otherwise i start feeling dry my nose and mouth, and get fatigued. Then my tongue feel dry and gets white. I feel better when i scrape the white stuff off, but comes back often. Its been going on for 4-5 years. Its start to sleep well, and function with these issues. Doc put me on Flonase didnt work. HELP !!
