A member asked:
Will flonase help with swollen inferior turbinate if not allergy related?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. Nasal steroid sprays act as membrane stabilizers and this can work for many triggers like inhaled dirt particles or fumes. Their action is not tied to allergies but can help with many triggers to the swelling.
