Sideeffects of Cortisteroids Nasal spray
Hey,
I am an allergy rhinitis patient and prescribed Steroid Nasal spray for round the year use.
I am getting repetitive throat infection post using nasonex(Corti steroids). It's something similar to Laryngitis. Like small spots, low grade fever. Can please suggest what to do in this case?
Thanks

Steroid nasal sprays dripping down post pharyngeal wall can cause recurrent throat infection. You should rinse your throat regularly after using steroid nasal sprays. You can use antiseptic mouth gargle also..
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
