Just a couple of comments to the kind replies to my Nasacort question. First of all, I will have to tell you that it has really helped me. My allergies are also to dust and as I live in a totally carpeted apartment, I have really been stuffed up.
I have difficulty getting a proper head/mask resonance if my nose is stuffed (no wonder!!) and also breath control is way better when your nostrils are clear. So for me, this medication has been a big help.
I did not ask my ENT about effects to the chords, but obviously I told him that I sing. I did however discuss the potential drying out of the nasal membranes (like Mike I am very much into water and being well hydrated) and he said that it will dry my nostrils out but this is what we are after isn't it?? I had to agree. Naomi, I probably won't see him again for some months but on my next visit I'll ask him your question and let you know what he says.
Then we discussed reducing the dosage and it is simple. At first you do two squirts to each nostril every morning, then you can reduce it to one. If this is fine too, then you can reduce it to one squirt every other day.
Best regards, Kerubiino
