Intranasal Steroid Spray

Nasal corticosteroid sprays work in a congested nose to clear the nasal passage of swelling and mucus. They ease the breath in a runny or stuffy nose. Steroid nasal sprays are beneficial in treating allergic rhinitis and nasal polyps. In the case of nasal polyps, they reduce the size of polyps. Though they are safe to use, some of their adverse effects include throat irritation, burning sensation in the inner nose, nasal dryness, etc.
