464237 tn?1315670793 t want the infection to get even worse. How is it ok to use flonase for bacterial infection? Have any of you used flonase for infection. My infection is not allergy related, it came from a cold that was going around. Thanks so much for reading. and yes I have been using nasal irrigation along with all of the other home remedies I have found on the internet.
Avatar n tn A good initial treatment is a nasal steroid spray, like Flonase. Zyrtec or Claritin might also be effective. If medical management does not work, immunotherapy (allergy shots) might be required to desensitize you to the things to which you are allergic.
Avatar n tn Twice in the last six months using Flonase my mouth filled with blood from sinuses. Is another medication for sinusitis available?
Avatar m tn I have a esophagus condition and was told to take flonase and spray 2 shots in my mouth twice a day. Flonase is a steroid and it helps with the inflammation. I had difficulty swallowing to the point of choking and passing out and this has helped me tremendously.
Avatar n tn 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 do have a headache behind my eyes and feel tired a lot, but I had that before too.
Avatar n tn t look cancerous to her. she said try using Flonase as a steroid and or Bactaide on it. I did so for a few days then kind of forgot. Upon finally inspecting it today, It looks like a cluster of 3 or so small white jagged firm peeks/lumps/bumps resembling either a cluster of something or a raised sore that cracked. It is almost pure white, but its in ways up my septum so its hard to see clearly. Most of the time it is not noticeable unless irritated.
Avatar f tn Flonase and zertec side effects in children.been taking both sense he was 7 and has stopped growing in height but is gaining weight and is having problems breathing.he is 11 now.
Avatar n tn 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?? In addition, is there any other over-the-counter meds that may be of use. Thank you.
Avatar f tn t think much of it because I used Flonase before with no issues but I wanted to see if this would be more effective. After about a week of usage I started feeling "off". Every day it got worse and worse. I experienced head pressure (to the point I thought I had a brain tumor), mood swings (would just burst out crying for no reason), panic attacks, weird vision, vertigo, anxiety, depression, brain fog, etc. Just before all of this happened I was an incredibly happy, healthy person.
Avatar n tn You should get a nasal steroid such a Flonase or Nasacort and start using it a month or so before the allergy season starts. These are prescription medications but Flonase is now generic so it should be cheaper now. It really works great.
504569 tn?1210454440 got flu shot on Dec 4, 2013 been sick ever since, started feelling little under the weather, then coughing with crazy unheard amounts of green mucus came up with the cough, lasted for almost a month, then my throat so sore it was almost making me cry, sore throat and ear pain mostly on right side, the pain was feeling like it went from throat to jawbone and jawbone made teeth feel very sore, looked like strings of green pus in very back of throat, pus also in the folds of my tonsils on the side
Avatar m tn Plus, the steroid from Flonase acts locally with probably only a small amount being absorbed systemically. Your doctor will be able to tell you for sure.
Avatar m tn This is a question but also maybe an answer. I am being totally serious about everything I say! I had an OVERWHELMING need to itch my scrotum and anal area. It wasn't like any itch I have ever had before. The itching was overwhelmingly euphoric when I itched area. I mean I could feel it though my entire body. I tried powders, creams,etc. Nothing worked and I was too embarrassed to even go to Doctor. I never really itched it either it was more pressure digging action. The itch felt internal.
Avatar m tn I occasionally used the generic version of Flonase that I had an Rx for, but have pretty much phased that out after learning here on this site about the possible association with cataracts.
Avatar m tn I'm 22 male, active and have real high Bp (i guess heriditary) but I'm hoping to get this under control soon with my meds(hydrochloric thiazides, amlodipine) but this started before treatment ... I've had pressure above my nose for over a month now and a weird feeling in the back of my head (spaced out/dizzy kinda feeling) its stronger sometimes then others but is constantly around I recently had a brain/head ct scan and they said all was normal...
Avatar n tn Normally my symptoms are pressure and tightness above my eyes, especially above the right eye. To get rid of it I start out with Claritin-D then if needed flonase, saline sprays, and Ibuprofen. They don't seem to give me complete relief. I have had this problem for long time. As I mentioned in my last post, when I am away from my home area (southeast Michigan), I feel a little better. Such as, when I travel south to other states, or east to Toronto area, I feel better.
Avatar f tn I would neti pot then do the flonase, so your not washing that med back out, it has a steroid in it to take down the swelling of tissue that are in inflammed. This could just be due to the springtime air, so you wouldnt be taking zyrtec for ever, just thru the springtime has passed. Hope this works for you!
Avatar n tn Nasal polyps were, in the past, often treated surgically but at this time treatment with an inhaled nasal steroid, such as Flonase® (fluticasone), can effectively shrink the nasal polyps. You should make arrangements to be seen by an ENT specialist. What you have is a treatable problem and should be treated so that you can breathe through your nose all the time. Good luck.
Avatar m tn Hi for the last year I've had troubles breathing. I sometimes feel I'm having heart issues and run to er, finally i Had some heart work up that was negative. I finally visited a ENT for my allergies and he noticed I have a deviated septum and large turbinates. Is it normal to breath from one nostril at a time with the other cometly blocked or is that an indication of imflamation in the sinuses. I do get alot of nasle poping everymorning and its like good relief when they pop.
Avatar m tn //www.rxlist.com/flonase-side-effects-drug-center.htm - which is probably why your doctor said to stop using it. If your cough got better using it, maybe it was helping some allergy symptoms, like post-nasal drip. Did you ask your doctor what he meant, or try to clarify anything? Always feel free to ask questions and clarify anything you don't understand with your doctor.
Avatar m tn I know exactly what you are going through, I have many of the same symptoms. The increasing pressure in the ears - sometimes it feels like it unclogs for awhile then builds back up - I even get pressure and tingling in the nose and sinus area for over a month. I get the same advice about it being an Eustachian tube dysfunction and try to be patient as it will likely resolve itself. Meanwhile we're suffering needlessly.
Avatar m tn Please help!!!! I have been suffering with my throat for over a year now, have been to numerous doctors, had several tests, tried several medications (including prescription, over-the- counter, and herbal remedies), literally spent hundreds of dollars and nothing has helped and no one can tell me what's wrong!!! It started over a year ago with a feeling like I have something stuck in my throat. I also started spitting up white foamy stuff several times a day ( see picture).
Avatar n tn //www.rxlist.com/flonase-drug.htm. Is this prescribed to decreases swelling or to attend to the sinus issue contributing to the swelling?
1663704 tn?1302912377 I have had fluid behind my eardrum since September 2010. My physician looked and saw fluid behind my eardrum and said it's caused from allergies or sinuses. I do have allergies and postnasal drainage. I was prescribed Flonase for 30 days, which didn't work, then prescribed a 7 day steroid medication, this didn't help either. I have tried Allegra D, Mucinex D, Mucinex, Sudafed, Sudafed PE, Afrin, etc. I am currently trying Zyrtec.
454221 tn?1259445739 Thanks. Back in the winter of 05 I got my first sinus infection and they did a head scan not a scan of my sinuses, but it showed blockage in several areas. I have been put on claritin, zyrtec, flonase, and zantac. But have stop most of them temporarily for the skin test on the 6th. I'm hoping the ct scan of my sinuses will give me more answers. I will let you know an update in August. Thanks again.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
