A member asked:
I used flonase and developed a very sore, red throat. i can also see a white line running down the back, will symptoms resolve w/discontinuation?

Likely: You are probably not aiming the spray towards the side of the nose and thus getting most of the medication to the throat leading to a candida infection. Yes, it will likely go away with time but the recovery may be hastened by using a topical anti-fungal agent.
