my doctor told be to spray this into the sides of my nostrils and massage it in. He said if you taste it. You waste it. Does that make sense? It does help greatly with my cat allergies. Not i initially thought i was supposed to sniff it up. Like nasal spray.

Months, are you kidding? How do you even know the spray is even working?

my baby girl, she's 4 years old and was prescribed omnaris with dosis of 50mcg 1 spray per nostril once a day. I was actually reading that it should not be used under the age of 6 and i'm kind of freaking out here because of all the side effects it has.
my girls has some trouble breathing when she sleeps and she breaths through her mouth. should i continue giving her the med or not? I would really appreciate if you could enlight me here.

My Doctor prescribed this for me today. this video is helpful. thank you Doctor.

Thank you - was worried that it wasn't working or blocked ear and allergies, I have been using this for a week. I'll keep at it.

I am really not sure I wanna use my nasal spray for 2-3mths coz the steroid frightens me. It is normally prescribed to me for my blocked Eustachian tube but I get other medications as well. In 2 wks, I get cured. I am not prescribed antibiotics coz I am allergic to them. But being a lefty, I have difficulty using the nasal spray with a lever that has to be pressed at the side.

Thanks for checking the video out!

I'm glad you found the video helpful!

I was diagnosed to have allergic rhinitis and was prescribed Fluticasone nasal spray. Thank you Dr. Lambert for this video.

You just need to angle it a little bit away from the septum. It should travel back in the nose properly this way.

Surely if you point the spray away from the septum, its just going to splatter against the nose and run out?

@bi1iruben But I'm using it to unclog my ears (prescribed by doctor) Would I need to get the spray as low as possible through the nose to hit the eustachian tubes?

This standard advising just to tilt head forward yet keep the spray vertical, never works in reality - patients don't tilt the head far enough forward and the spray gets aimed on the underside of the external nostril (common speech describes things going "up" the nose ratehr than correctly as backward through the nose). Yes the head needs tilting forward a little, but also the spray should be pointed slightly backwards, the combination should have the spray pointing to just above the ear.

Does this nasal spray work to cure mucous or phlegm?
