Flonase - Allergies Message Board

I'm 19 years old and have had allergies as long as I can remember. When they started getting bad enough, I began taking Zrytec, Claritin and Allegra D, the zrytec and claritin didn't seem to do much, the allegra d did but I didn't like taking it all the time, so my doctor suggested Flonase. The prescription says to use one spray in each nostril once a day, so that's just what I've been doing and it's been working great. When I would blow my nose there would be a little blood on it but I was told that was normal. Last night right after I sprayed, I got a bloody nose so much so that it ran down to my lip. Is this normal? I read somewhere on here that using a nasal spray everyday is bad for you in the long run. Is this true? Any suggestions or comments?

xclear and quercetin spray are more natural homeopathic remedies and gentle to your nasal membranes. you can try neil med sinus rinse too. allergies realaly stink, i've been on shots since 14 yrs ago, and im 22.

madunlap,
I had the same thing happen to me using Flonase. My ENT switched me to Nasacort.
