Yes: There is no contraindication to using Ibuprofen in addition to Flonase (nasals (oxymetazoline) steroid spray) and zyrtec (antihistamine). Be sure to follow directions for proper dose in children.

A member asked:

I have been having allergies really bad this week. I have been taking Zyrtec and Mucinex D since last Sunday. Friday I added generic Flonase. I have not had any fever at all. Yesterday afternoon I noticed a loss of smell. I know there are reports of others saying theyve lost smell and taste while on Flonase. I also know that is a symptom of COVID. From what Ive read and heard, if this was COVID Id feel a lot worse and have fever. What are your thoughts? Loss of smell?
