Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The chronic congestion on one side of the nose could be due to a nasal polyp, deviated nasal septum, chronic sinusitis, etc. Flonase is a steroid based spray which helps in reducing the inflammation and congestion in the area thus relieving the blockage. It provides only a short term symptomatic relief.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for a physical examination to find out the cause of congestion so that a definitive treatment can be done.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
