Becanese for blocked sinuses

[bigchris]

Hi
Really suffering, how long does becanese take to work and do i tip my head back when i squirt it up my nose

Help me lovely mumsnetters, I can't breathe !

It takes a good few uses to start to work. I use mine twice a day every day and only really notice any effect after a week or so.

I find it best to squirt, sniff deeply and then tip my head forward.

Oh thanks arrowfanatic, just feeling a bit low and desperate !

Feel for you, sinus problems are horrible. Have you tried steaming?

Yes , and inhaling olbas oil, just been goimg on for a few weeks now , was hoping the doctor would give me antibiotics but only recommended nasal spray !

you seem to have got the wrong spray. for a cold otrivine (chorhexa...)
works in minutes.

You need otravine. Works in minutes.

Clarinaze has worked wonders for me this year.

4-5 days. But you have to use it regularly.
It's a preventer medicine rather than a reliever medicine.

Beconase is an appropriate treatment for someone who is prone to blocked sinuses. It's not wrong at all.

beconase (and other steroid sprays) are great fir hayfever and inflamed sinusus but thy don't work immediately.

I've found a sinus wash is better and I feel better instantly after

I have awful hay fever and it's my sinuses that cause the most trouble. I get migraine-like pain. I take Fexofenidine daily which helps. A dr recommended a sinus wash too but I don't fancy it! Might be something to try though.

I came on t9 say sinus wash as well. I use Sterimar
