It’s important to follow the directions on the package exactly, and be advised that it takes time for the medication to build up in your system. In other words, it may take a week or so to reach maximum effectiveness. (Based on what my ENT specialist told me). You can also get Nasonex, which is basically the same thing. However, that particular medication requires a doctor’s prescription.I think that's what I have. The relief was almost instant. Within minutes I could breathe through my nose. 3 days later all the pressure in my face is gone. I'm supposed to do a nasal flush, but I was too plugged up to do it. I'm hoping that works well too because I bought a hundred packages
I figured what the heck, it doesn't go bad and i'm always going to need it. Lol

Nasal steroids like Flonase (and others). are key. As others have said, they are more useful a a “preventive” medication vs treating symptoms that have already started. Combine that with daily antihistamine. In the past when I have had terrible eye symptoms (intolerable itchy, red eyes) cromolyn eye drops (opticrom) have rescued me. Fortunately in “middle age” I seem to have finally “grown out” of some of my allergies. LolI think that's what I have. The relief was almost instant.
