Question 1

i have nasonex (mometasone) and astelin (nasal spray) but i am not sure wich one will be the best for sinus congestion. please suggest me which one to take.

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Nasonex (mometasone) is more of a preventative medication uses for allergic conditions.  If one controls the allergy then no stuffy nose.  For more acute action, the Astelin may be better.  It is a topical antihistamine spray of sorts.  At your next visit, ask your pcp for advise or your allergist.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Go to ER: Unbearable pain go to ER by friends car or call ambulance. Take the Rexall sinus nasal spray with you.
You could be having an allergic reaction- time matters. GO

Question 3

i've had swelling from a cold in my left sinus for months. i've been prescribed a nasal spray, but no major effects so far. how do i treat this?

Accepted Answer

ENT: May be time to see an ENT or get a CT scan of sinuses, have teeth examined, consider an antibiotic as well.

Question 4

rebound effect zicam sinus relief nasal spray 3 days in a row?

Accepted Answer

Beware!: Otc decongestant sprays such as zicam, afrin, etc (oxymetazoline) can definitely cause rebound congestion typically after 5 to 7 days of use.  This condition is called rhinitis medicamentosa, and long-term use of such medications can be difficult to treat. For severe cases, an allergist or ENT physician can recommend weaning protocols in conjunction with proper rhinitis therapy.

Question 5

what are the most common side effects of mucinex sinus-max clear & cool nasal spray?

Accepted Answer

: Go to drugs.com and enter the EXACT brand you are using and it will tell you and will be very up to date.

Question 6

what  traditional treatment that i can use to cure my sinus ? besides using nasal spray.

Accepted Answer

Saline rinses: Thoroughly irrigating the nose with saline solution solves a variety of sinus problems and helps restore the normal functioning of the nasal lining. Just spritzing with saline spray really isn't enough; you need a sinus rinse bottle or netty pot.

Question 7

i have a bad sinus . it has been since 2011, i tried to take nasal spray and etc but its still not working . should i try homeopathy to cure my sinus ?

Accepted Answer

May help, also...: Chronic sinus problems can be difficult to treat & often respond poorly to standard treatment. Homeopathy is well worth trying, esp. If you consult a good homeopath. Air filters, nasal irrigation with xylitol, silver hydrosol (argentyn 23) nose spray, nutritional supplements, dietary changes and herbs may help. I recommend the book sinus survival by rob ivker md for more guidance.

Question 8

can nasarel nasal spray cause sinus problems?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I previously answered this question but i did not address the question of sinusitis.  If the over the counter nasal spray is used too long, it is possible that the small openings to the paranasal sinuses could be eventually obstructed and lead to a rhino-sinusitis.  Again, let an ENT doctor or allergist manage your nasal problems.

Question 9

sinus blockage. i want to get rid of it so what should i try in a nasal spray?

Accepted Answer

Nasal spray/ sinuses: Your best, first step, is to use saline nasal irrigations. Twice a day for the first 5 to 7 days, then once daily there after. If you have allergies, take your doctor recommended oral medications +/- nose sprays.

Question 10

can i take stacker 2 or3 and use synex 12 hour nasal spray ? right now i take zyrtec for my sinus  problem also.

Accepted Answer

No nasal decongestan: Be aware that over the counter nasal decongestant sprays are extremely addictive and should only be used for 3 days max. You can use zyrtec d or go to your doc and get a prescription for a steroid nasal sprays that is much better and is not habit forming.
