Steroids: I would call your ENT, MRSA in the nostril is very uncommon, in the community. Taking steroids while having MRSA is not the best idea. You should call you ENT/MD ASAP and discuss with them. Best to luck

Staph colonization: of nostrils is not uncommon, and topical treatment should take care of it, whether flonase would spread staph infection to the sinuses is yet to be proven, one of the microorganisms causing chronic sinusitis is staph, at any rate you need to be further evaluated, you might need imaging study or your sinuses, preferably a CT study, and take it from there, see your doctor/ENT specialist
