Question 1

nasonex, (mometasone) nasacort aq or flonase, which quicker for nasal congestion/ seasonal allergies?  i also nasal colloidal silve-nott o2 binding, will that work

Accepted Answer

Nasal sprays: All nasal steroids take a few days to start working and need to build up a dose before they become fully effective. Nasal antihistamines are quicker in onset of actiion. A combination nasal spray should help your symptoms for fast and long lasting relief. Now i don't know anything about the coooloidal silver spray you mentioned.

Depends on source: Nose swelling can be of traumatic origin, or other explanation, an md can help you sort it out. Swelling usually responds to ice and 
advil. Find the source, and treat that.

Question 5

is it possible to switch nasal steroid spray if one doesn't work for you to reduce the swelling in your nose?

Yes: There are a number of corticosteroid nasal sprays and while all should be effective, patient preference is the key to continued use and good results.  If symptoms are persistent, seek care from a board certified allergist.

Question 6

Question 7

i had septoplasty surgery in oct 2014 which straighten my deviated septum &reduced my turbinates. it's may 2015 &my nose is swollen again, making it hard to breathe. it keeps swelling on and off constantly. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

?: Have you tried pseudoephedrine? You can get it by itself, but it's even better if you get Claritin-D or Zyrtec-D (the "D" indicates pseudoephedrine is one of the ingredients) because, this time of year, allergies are very common, would account for your recurrent symptoms, and get better with the 2 drugs I listed - you may need to take it twice a day until spring is over. Ask 4 it at your pharmacy.

Question 8

i ve negative allergy test & no runny nose or sneezing, just reduced airways due chronic turbinate swelling , do i still ve rhinitis? or something eles

Accepted Answer

Rhinitis: You can have non allergic or vasomotor rhinitis, Nasonex (mometasone) is a good choice for it, in addition to a nasal antihistamine if you have post nasal drip.

Question 9

hit in face. swollen black eyes and lips. also fractured nose. how do i reduce swelling? i have an appointment with an ear nose and throat doc soon.

Accepted Answer

Ice: The best thing to use is something cold, like ice in a pack or a bag. The face is very vascular and will swell as you know very easily. You should not delay seeing the doctor if you require surgery. He or she may put it off until the swelling subsides. Good luck.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: If you have pain combined with redness, you must see a doctor asap.
