Does Fluticasone inhaler cause cough?

[anxious_thoughts]

Hi everyone,

Im recovering from COVID, about two weeks now since symptoms first started and I tested negative last weekend.

I still have quite a bit of post nasal drip left, cough, and a little tired. I started inhaling fluticasone two times a day since 3 days ago and I feel like my cough is getting worse? It was getting better before this. So not sure. Is that a common side effect?

Im thinking of stopping it after today. I only inhaled once today. But I’ll see what happens.

Is this like a nasal spray? I'd just put in a call to your doctor to ask, but I can imagine it possibly causing more post-nasal drip if you're snorting it into your nose, especially if you're not quite spraying it in the right direction or something. I never feel like I use those things right.

Hello Erin!
It’s a puffer so I inhale through my mouth. I was supposed to do it twice a day but I stopped. It felt like my cough was getting worse, not sure. I’ll call my dr. :)
