I was using Flonase at bedtime, feeling like it helped keep my nasal passages and throat clear of muck through the night and stopped the mouth breathing. Dr. Winthrop said he had no problem with the topical steroid, because it doesn't get into the system the way oral ones do.
That said, I'm not so sure the Flonase is working as well as I thought. I'm not mouth breathing, but wake in the night feeling like the mucus from my sinuses and lungs are rendezvousing in my throat in a big gunky mess. I'm trying saline washes now and wondering what time is best? Morning doesn't seem to do much. Maybe a couple hours before bedtime? Does anyone have experience with this?
