Will Flonase Assist In Treating Rhinitis, Post-nasal Drip And Severe Cough?

I ve had rhinitis, post-nasal drip and a tickling uncontrollable cough. I ve tried flonase, all kinds of decongestants, OTC cough medicines. I don t have congestion any more but the cough is terrible. Today I noticed red bumps on the back of my tongue.

Allergic rhinitis ansd asthma are now considered as single disease. One airway one disease. The etiological factors are also same forboth these.soyour coughmay be due to cough variant asthma. Consult pulmonologist and get done chest x ray and pulmonary function test (PFT). sometimes small airway obstruction can also dry cough and this can also diagnosed by FEV 25 - 75 % inPFT report. So consult pulmonologist.
