Is There An Alternative To Fluticasone For A Painful Sore Nose?

I went to the doctor to day because I thought I had a some kind of mrsa infection in my nose. I have hard boogers, my nose feels stiff, sores, hurts and stuffy. He said I didn't have mrsa but maybe some polops. He gave me Fluticasone spray to help me. But when I got home I saw that many people on the internet claim they gained weight using it. I have been on weight watchers and trying to lose weight because of my health (Diabetes) and wanting to get fit. I can't take this drug. The doctor is gone from office. Is their something else I can buy over the counter to help me. Is their a less evasive prescription I can ask him about when I reach him.

Hi. Good that you have asked this question. Internet gives an idea- good. The amount of medicine in the spray can not give you weight gain. Many times the patients feel better with a particular medicine and the feeling of betterment can increase appetite and weight.
