How long before Flixonase begins to work?
Question:
Kate Flixonase doesn’t work for everybody, and if you have any possibility of sinus infection, you may need an antibiotic, too. I have severe allergic rhinitis, but don’t find that I get much in the way of real sinus pain unless I have some infection present as well. This isn’t always apparent. If your sinuses are completely blocked , you may not get much -or any- drainage. It might be worth asking your GP for some antibiotics just to try, if you’re feeling as bad as that. After three weeks of Flixonase nasules, you should be getting some improvement, I’d say. Is it an ENT, or GP, or allergist you’ve seen? You may get a different diagnosis from each! Also, if you haven’t had an endoscopic examination of your nose, you should be asking for one. Good luck Christine pkh <p…@pbchaplin.freeserve.co.uk> wrote in message

Christine Thank you for your message. I saw an allergist who examined inside my nose. She said that I needed to get steroid medication up into the area near the top of the nose level with my eyes. I think I will give it another week or so and then get back to her. We have recently discovered a leak in a pipe in our downstairs toilet which has been around for some time. I also have ME and therefore am at home for much of the time. I am hoping that when all the damp has dried out this will help with the sinus problems. Thanks for your help.

Irrigation may help also. >Under my eyebrows and frontal sinuses feel like they are red raw and I am >drinking litres of water and hot tea each day. I am irrigating once daily >and using Sterimar saline spray. I am also taking Guaifenesin in the form >of Robitussin. >
You should take the form of Robitussin that does not contain any stimulants. Both kinds are available. > The whole thing is making me feel extremely tired and spaced >out. I have to stay at home and don’t feel safe to drive as I just can’t >concentrate. >
That could be the Ronitussin if you are taking the wrong kind. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I am really hoping the flixonase will help. >Thank you for your help. >Kate

I have been told that I have allergies and prescribed Flixonase nasules (nose drops) which it is hoped will reach further into my nose. I have been on them for three weeks now with no improvement. I understand that steroids can take some time to work and I wondered what other people’s experiences are with flixonase. Under my eyebrows and frontal sinuses feel like they are red raw and I am drinking litres of water and hot tea each day. I am irrigating once daily and using Sterimar saline spray. I am also taking Guaifenesin in the form of Robitussin. The whole thing is making me feel extremely tired and spaced out. I have to stay at home and don’t feel safe to drive as I just can’t concentrate. I am really hoping the flixonase will help. Thank you for your help. Kate
