Not for cold: Flonase may work for allergies but not for a cold. OTC nasal decongestant spray for no more than 5 days would be more effective.

Ask ENT and...: First, if you lost the medicines to take please call her ENT Dr. and ask for that information. Flonase helps allergies but won't help a cold. No drugs are proven to help colds but Pellargonium sidoides, a herb also sold as Umcka, is proven to help colds- see http://tinyurl.com/ztoepsy Zinc lozenges can also help colds, but zinc acetate works best: http://time.com/4779655/zinc-lozenges-cold/

Xylitol: Xylitol is a natural sugar and breaks up biofilm in the body. That's where germs multiply. It is found in a nasal spray called Xlear (pronounced "clear") and in chewing gum called spry. Pleasant tasting too! Please do what doc asks. Peace and good health.
