I supposedly got a nasal bacterial infection two years ago. 4 months ago I was put on Nasonex even though the doctor still didn't know if my 'infection' was bacterial (tried several antibiotics kept coming back) or fungal, or viral.
The first six weeks I got colds for the 1st time. Hey! the Nasonex was smell free. Went to see doc after 6weeks. Ran out of Nasonex. Was prescribed more only to get the Spanish version Nasomet. Just a different brand name I was told. It had an awful light nail polish smell...like acetone. Since using it at the prescribed lower dose my nose is bleeding and clotting and hardening or the nostrils. Burning, whistling smaller nasal passages.
When I had the original infection a had a week of sinus infection headache. Now I ger persistent creeping sinus headache...not a full one. ut it never seems to go away. I'm now scared of Nasomet/Nasonex and want to come off it.

I have a complete loss of my sense of smell that has not returned after stopping Nasonex for 4 months My sense of taste has diminished too.
