Metaspray Nasal Spray is used to treat seasonal and perennial allergic rhinitis symptoms. It contains mometasone, which gets absorbed into the cells of the nasal lining and works by inhibiting these cells from releasing chemicals that trigger inflammatory and allergic reactions. Thus, it helps to relieve sneezing, runny or blocked nose, and sinus discomfort. Common side effects of Metaspray Nasal Spray are headache, nose bleeds, sore throat or nose, sneezing, or ulcers in the nose.
Why do I experience regular nasal blockage and throat irritation, along with mouth breathing that leads to bloating and shortness of breath?
Dr S Aneela

You may have chronic nasal blockage, often due to allergies, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum. This blockage can force mouth breathing, which may cause throat irritation, bloating from swallowing excess air, and mild shortness of breath. Please see your doctor or an ENT specialist to identify and treat the underlying cause.
I am suffering from nasal allergies that worsen during September and October. Metaspray Nasal Spray provides temporary relief, but the sneezing and congestion are unbearable. Is there a permanent cure?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
There is no permanent cure for seasonal nasal allergies, but the symptoms can be effectively managed. Using nasal corticosteroids, antihistamines, and decongestants regularly, as prescribed by your doctor, can help reduce symptoms. Simple measures like avoiding triggers, keeping windows closed, using an air purifier, and showering after being outdoors can also make a difference. If your allergies are severe, your doctor may recommend allergy testing and immunotherapy for long-term relief.
I have nasal congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose. I have caught a heavy cold. Please suggest suitable medicines, including whether I need an antibiotic.
Dr S Aneela

You may use a saline nasal spray to clear your nose and take over-the-counter antihistamines and decongestants to relieve congestion, sneezing, and a runny nose. Make sure to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and try warm steam inhalation to help your body recover faster. Avoid taking antibiotics, as they do not work for colds, which are usually caused by a virus.
I am suffering from nasal polyps and severe allergies along with asthma. What should I do?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
You should consult your doctor or an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation, as nasal polyps and asthma are often linked to the same underlying inflammatory condition. Your doctor may prescribe regular steroid nasal sprays or biological therapies to shrink the polyps and may suggest adjusting your asthma inhalers to ensure your airways and nasal passages are effectively managed together. Regular follow-up is essential to prevent complications.
Do I need nasal surgery for my nasal allergies?
Dr S Aneela
M. Pharm (Pharmacology)., PhD
Nasal surgery is usually not needed for allergies. Treatment with nasal steroid sprays, antihistamines, and avoiding triggers is typically sufficient. Surgery is considered only if you have nasal obstruction or polyps that do not improve with medical treatment and severely affect your breathing.
