Allergy: try allergy medicine. OTC allergy medicine, during the day, and Benadryl (diphenhydramine) at night, it is not cold, it is not going away for a week.

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?
I took allegra 24hr then flonase in AM. Cold symptoms persist with sneezing and stuffy! Like allergy. Can I take Nyquil tonight?
I had allergies and sprayed two sprays of flonase into my nose, a few days later I got a cold sore and then a week later I got oral thrush- could it be related to the flonase use? No antibiotic use and no underlying conditions?
Can Flonase be used to treat nasal congestion thats due to the common cold, or is strictly for allergy-related congestion?
