Medical Forum / General / General / February 2004nose dryness added by Rhinocort
The climate here is already dry and when I use Rhinocosrt, it leads to nose bleed. I had been doing well w/o any spray for 2 1/2 months but recently, after going to a class, by the 3rd class day, I was getting throat infection and so I started using Rhinocort again just to recover from that. Of course, I had a bit of nose bleed the next day. So I stop using it but then I had to to prevent infection from lingering... Is there any thing I can do to counter hat dryness in nose sot hat I won't have nose bleed? You might not like it but snorting Ozynol or Neo-sporin will do the job. And if it *is* dry where you live, and you don't have a dust mite allergy, use a humidifier in your home. You might not need the Ozynol. > The climate here is already dry and when I use Rhinocosrt, it leads to > nose bleed.

Where I used to live, in one winter, due to the cold front, it was so dry inside the townhouse and I used humidfier and it was bad news. Mine is not allergic rhinitis but I need prevention of mold forming. Moisture wil form mold. . I have been sick with flu and can only check the response. I have never used Ozynol?

Often recommended for nose bleeds due to dryness. Just put some on your finger, but not too much, and snort it. > > You might not like it but snorting Ozynol or Neo-sporin will > > do the job.

Thanks. How often should I use it? Once a day, twice a day or whenever my nose feels really dry which happens when I use Rhinocort? <snip for brevity >> > The climate here is already dry and when I use Rhinocosrt, it leads to >> > nose bleed.

Sorry I missed the start of this :-( Amanda, How much rhinocort do you use? Perhaps you can use less? For example, when I was using Rhinocort I tended to have one spray per nostril every 2-3 days. Rhinocort on its own, never mind with a dry climate, can cause nosebleeds because it is a steroid and can damage the mucous membranes inside the nose. http://www.rhinocortaqua.com/c/index_nf.asp Best Regards John McCabe To reply by email replace 'nospam' with 'assen' > >> > The climate here is already dry and when I use Rhinocosrt, it leads to > >> > nose bleed.

Well, when I first started using it in 2002 Spring, I used (In Houston) as the doctor told me 2 sprays each nostril morning and night. I also used Astelin 2 sprays each nostril 1 hours after Rhinocort. I did that for about 2 months. I stopped using it summer. In fall, around October, I started using again twice a day when I was having throat infection. Other time, just once a day or once every other day and also one spray per nostril depending on .. I contiued that way till, ie used as needed or use once every 3 days or so.- I couls tell depending on how I feel - till wineetr 2003 when I stopped completely because of dryness. Also, it seems that I didn't need it Now, in 2004 about a month ago, I felt that I needed to use it when I started going to a classroom and started getting scrathy throat but as soon as I started using, the nose bleed within 24 hours (I have the heater on all day because my old condo unit is just cold) >Perhaps you can use less?

I see. Thanks for the info. I guess that rules out my plan to move backt o houston where I would have to use Rhinocort more... What can happen as the damage to mucous membrane esclates in ... my life time? > http://www.rhinocortaqua.com/c/index_nf.asp > > Best Regards > John McCabe > > To reply by email replace 'nospam' with 'assen' |
