A member asked:
Can flonase be used to treat nasal congestion thats due to the common cold, or is strictly for allergy-related congestion?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy only: Nasal steroid does nothing when the congestion is caused by a cold. Topical nasal congestant spray may be used for up to 5 days.
