Q: will afrin help with turbinate hypertrophy? and can it be used with flonase at the same time? or does it need to be alternated?

: Turbinate hypertrophy means enlargement of that cartilage. Nose drops help reduce the swelling of the mucus membrane lining it and not the cartilage itself. So manipulating the drops wont help it
