"Steroid Nose Drops Ease Sinusitis"

I saw this in today's news and since allergies and sinus problems seem to go hand in hand in many of allergy sufferers, I thought perhaps this might be of some interest to many. Wishing you all well! Hugs, Teri tongue

"Treatment with nose drops containing the steroid fluticasone propionate can reduce the need for endoscopic sinus surgery in patients who have chronic sinusitis and nasal polys, new research shows."

Hi Lyn!!
It's great to hear from you!!

I'm glad that the nose drops have eventually helped your brother-it's a miserable condition, and any relief is always welcomed! Give him my best and tell him that he's not alone!!

Hugs, Teri
