Hello doctor is it safe to give flixonase nasal spray to my 2.5 year old child?

Likely ok: But use only 1 spray for his age. If he needs to use it regularly, it is prudent to make sure that his growth rate is as expected although studies have not shown that nasal steroid leads to growth retardation.
