Can Flomist Nasal Spray Cause Hypothyroidism?
due to nasal congestation my daughter aged 6 is continuously using flomist nasal spray for the last one year. Now she has hypothyroidism. Is it due to the usage of flomist or continued use of flomist will affect or worsen the hypothyroidism. Please clarify. Thanks. jude antony
