Started Taking Nasonex. Had A Burning Sensation. Why Is That Side Of The Face Droopy?

Started taking Nasonex a few days ago as prescribed by family Dr. Was to use once per day. On the 3rd day I used this medicine and immediately after squirting it in my nostrils I experienced a burning sensation and after that immediately lost all feeling on the right side of my face. My right eye now waters, blinking is off from the opposite eye and when talking I have lost the ability to move my face properly. That side of the face is now droopy. Please advise or provide any other similar cases on this product.

Hi..
Thanks for posting your query..
From the symptoms you are having, it could be a evolving Bell's palsy of rt side..
The features will be -
inability close the eye fully and forcibly keep it shut..
absent blinking
deviation of mouth to the other side
absence of wrinkles and forehead furrows on the affected side
inability to blow air
tingling sensation over the affected area..
All features may be present or may not be..
The nasal spray you are using is unlikely to cause this..
Consult your physician once for proper treatment..
Take care.. I will be available for further queries..
I find this answer helpful
