Ear fullness ringing: I sometimes add ear drops like cortisporin to decrease the ear fullness as it contains steroids. I also add an antihistamine ( like Zyrtec) as it decreases the inflammatory process. Sometimes I use Astelin /astepro a nasal antihistamine spray in lieu of Flonase. Elevating head of bed and treating GERD , if presen,t w/ Zantac may help as GERD can exacerbate inflammation. f/u/ w/ doc

A 50-year-old female asked:
Have dry eyes. Will Flonase affect the eyes in any way? Sinuses are bothering me - a lot of post nasal drip and fullness. Mostly likely due to allergy or slept wrong and affected my neck as I dont feel like its a cold. Hate the full head feeling?
