Fluticasone spray is a low dose steroid used as treatment in patients with rhino sinusitis. Loss of sense of smell can happen with any viral infection including covid and usually returns on its own whether you treat it or not. Using a steroid spray may help quicken the recovery period and there is no harming using it but you will have to use it for a few weeks or months to get maximal benefit.
