Steroid nasal spray 3 months after septorhinoplasty? Is it worth it? Any complications or side effects along using?

aesthetics93
I have a excessive amount of crusting 3 months post op. They are quite deep and big causing sharp pain at times. I have been doing rinses for a month but removing the crusting has had very little success. My surgeon recommended steroid nasal spray. Would you suggest using the steroid nasal spray over the saline rinse? Or continue on with saline rinse to stay safe as my internal/external nose is still very swollen. Would there be any side effects or precaution using the steroid nasal spray thanks
