I have had a constant stuffy nose since having covid a month ago. ent said i have inferior turbinate hypertrophy (i have never had this before) and to use flonase. i have been using it for almost two weeks with no results. is this a long covid issue?

This may be Long COVID if the symptoms persist. Use of nasal saline prior to Flonase is often effective. Was your smell and taste affected? This finding can be long term and slow to resolve. Watch for signs of fever and headache, rest and stay well hydrated.

I have COVID-19 and my nose is severely congested. I can't take decongestant with phenylephrine because they make me restless and cause palpitations. Can I use Flonase at least?

I need something that will help with Turbinate Hypertrophy brought on by Covid. I have used Flonase and Xhance per ENT's direction and I am still stuffed up after 3 months of having Covid. I cannot be the only one that has this problem?
