A member asked:

Will it take months for my flonase spray to shrink my turbinate ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

No: If used properly (aiming towards the side of the nose), it should work by the 7th day if not sooner. If problem is not controlled, see an allergist who can guide you on avoidance and treatment measures.
