Hello. : Hello. Azelastine is an antihistamine. It's indications include hay fever and allergic symptoms (i.e., runny nose & sneezing). Although a sinus infection is not a specific indication, if your sinus issues appear to be related to allergies, your doctor might prescribe it to help control niduses for irritation.

Astepro : Astepro is an antihistamine nose spray. We generally use it in allergy when steroid nasal sprays aren't enough to unplug your nose. It won't hurt your sinus infection, but it probably won't have much of an impact. You don't want to use sinex, or any nasal spray decongestant, longer than about 5 days. After that it will make your nasal congestion worse. If the symptoms you describe have been going on longer than 10 to 14 days, it's time for an antibiotic. It's possible that a doctor might recommend one before that, depending on your history of sinus infection. If this is a recurring problem, an ENT doctor who does sinus surgery and treats allergies would be your best bet. You can always start with whoever is treating your asthma.
