I'd be careful about corticosteroid containing nasal sprays guys as they globally lower the local immune response.
My sister, a heavy Beconase user, finished up with a nasty recurring sinus infection containing fungal elements and antibiotic resistant Pseudomonas bacteria, which eventually got into her brain via the Olfactory nerve canals in the top of her nose.
I've also learned this the hard way (without it getting to my brain)
Therefore I try not to use the" instant relief " nasal sprays unless I'm completely stuffed and cannot breathe through my nose and only at night to help me sleep - and even then I try not to use them for more than a couple of nights at a time. I've found them to prolong my sinus infections in some cases.
I've been using the nasal decongestant spray daily for about 3 years I reckon, oops
