Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query your children have been prescribed Flonase and Claritin which are safe to take together as they don't have any bad interaction. Still i would suggest you to continue with Claritin nasal spray and you should stop Flonase as it is steroidal drug. You should give antibiotics along with nasal decongestant sprays. Do warm saline gargles. Give bed rest and steam inhalation to your children. Visit ENT specialist once and get throat culture and sputum test done to find out exact cause and start treatment accordingly. Give them plenty of fluids and diet rich in multivitamins.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
