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 there be any side effects or precaution using the steroid nasal spray thanks
