Question 1

i have flonase allergy and need alternative?

Accepted Answer

Many available: First off, true allergy to Flonase is unusual; you might simply be adversely reacting to one of its components. It is best to describe your symptoms to the doctor who prescribed it, and make sure that you are using it properly (e.g., nosebleeds are due to not using it correctly, not an allergy to it). Your prescribing physician will be able to suggest any of several alternatives on the market.

Question 2

chronic cough in children associated with flonase allergy?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: I don't think a child would be allergic to the nasal steroid spray flonase.  There are certainly children whose cough may not respond to treatment with flonase, but the reason is most likely a mis-diagnosis rather than an allergy to it.  One needs to think about an infectious cause, asthma or possibly reflux to name a few reasons for lack of response to flonase.

Question 3

where do i get flonase (allergy spray) without prescription?

Accepted Answer

Mexico, maybe: It will probably be cheaper to see your doctor and pay for the office visit and prescription than to travel to some country where nasal steroid sprays are available over the counter. However, i'm not specifically aware of any country that makes any of the nasal steroid sprays available without a prescription.

Question 4

can flonase treat fluid in the ear even if it wasn't caused by allergies?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Although Flonase has been reported to be effective for certain non-allergic rhinitis, I am a little skeptical about this finding.  Thus it is likely more effective in decongesting the nose when the problem is allergic. Even then the chances are likely 50/50. If this problem has been present for more than a month , you need to see an ENT.

Question 5

can flonase cause a floater in your eye?. or is allergies more likely the cause of it?.  i've just started having issues with allergies this year.

Accepted Answer

Not expected: A few small floaters may be ok but if you are noticing new ones popping up or large ones coming on, you need to call your eye doctor immediately. Allergy per se is not associated with floaters and unless you have overdosed on Flonase, systemic effect is not expected. If you have high myopia and are noticing floaters, an eye exam is also called for ASAP.

Question 6

my daughter has yellow gook in her eyes and they are also watery. she does have allergies which she takes flonase and an inhaler for! is the yellow discharge caused by allergies as welll? and if so what can i give her?

Accepted Answer

Antihistamine: Although discharge from allergies is usually clear/watery, there can be some yellow/thicker appearance to it.  Both eyes is more suggestive of allergy than infection.  Consider over the counter antihistamine like zyrtec or Claritin (loratadine) for children.  If it worsens, or the lids are matted together then an antibiotic drop may be needed.  If the allergies cont. To bother, antihistamine drops can be rx'd.

Question 7

layrynscopy no damage from thyroidectomy ent, it's allergy related for hoarse voice-. flonase /claritin try.   what are other causes /lung  symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Reflux: Consider reflux disease especially if you suffer from frequent throat clearing. . However Claritin (loratadine) can potentially dry up your throat a little .

Question 8

been taking claritin (loratadine) niacin & flonase for ringing in my ears and stuffiness. can allergies cause the stuffy nose and slight ache in ears?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Nasal allergy can cause a stuffy nose and ache in your ears.  But, claritin, Niacin and Flonase will probably not affect your tinnitus.

Question 9

what is a good alternative to flonase or seasonal allergies?

Accepted Answer

: Beconase (Beclomethasone dipropionate) or Nasarel (Flunisolide) nasal spray.

Question 10

i currently take allergy shots every 2 weeks, flonase, and singular for allergies but still find need to take daily allergy meds otc. any suggestions?

Accepted Answer

Allergy Issues: Clean up your environment . Bedding encasements, certified hepa vacuums, close windows, pets banned from bedroom, use non-dusty cat litter, never sweep, avoid all fabric softeners and scented products, check your vents and make sure all pertinent allergens are in your shots. Try different nasal spray brands. Check for sinus infections and gerd  that are easily missed but can cause similar symptoms.
