A member asked:
Is azelastine or flonase better for swollen/inflamed turbinates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends. Azelastine is an antihistamine nasal spray that would be a good preventive taken prior to exposure to allergens. It can reduce aggravation by new exposure. Flonase is a nasal steroid that helps reduce inflammation and increases cell integrity. Either will function well depending on the situation and pattern of use. Nasal steroids often take 2-3 days to produce any noticeable relief.

I use astelin (azelastine) and flonase. Which should I spray into my nose first for best results?
Can you use Flonase or Azelastine nasal sprays if you have COVID or other viral infections that affect your nose or respiratory system? I'm asking because these drugs are immunosuppressants so concerned about adverse consequences?
If Flonase is not working after 3-4 days to reduce swollen/inflamed Turbinates, does that mean it will never work if used longer? I was told by ENT to use it for 6 weeks. I have been using it for 1 week so far with no results?
Will Flonase help with swollen inferior turbinate if not allergy related?
When using Flonase for swollen Inferior turbinates, where exactly do you aim the nozzle to get the Flonase to coat the Inferior Turbinate? Do you only put the tip of the nozzle in your nose or does it need to go in further?
