To compare the effectiveness between topical mometasone furoate nasal spray versus topical fluticasone furoate nasal spray in the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis. Randomized control trial was conducted involving 70 patients. One group received topical mometasone furoate nasal spray and the other group received fluticasone furoate nasal spray for 3 weeks. All patients were prescribed oral ciprofloxacin for 3 weeks and were subjectively evaluated using the Lund and Mackay staging system and objectively using nasal endoscopy by the Lund and Kennedy scoring system. There was no inter group significance but all patients improved significantly after the administration of either of the steroid sprays. Following administration of steroid nasal sprays, there was clinically significant improvement in the symptoms and signs of chronic rhinosinusitis, but there was no statistical significance between the two study groups. Thus, steroid nasal sprays significantly improve the symptoms and resolution of signs of chronic rhinosinusitis. The choice of drug still remains uncertain to the clinician. However, long term studies with more sample size is needed to arrive at sound conclusions.

Background: Moderate to severe persistent allergic rhinitis (AR) poses a substantial socioeconomic burden.
Objectives: We aimed to establish the superiority of bencycloquidium bromide (BCQB) nasal spray and BCQB combined with mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) over MFNS alone in adults with moderate-to-severe persistent AR.
Methods: In this multicentre, randomised controlled clinical trial (NCT05038202), adults with moderate-to-severe persistent AR were randomly assigned to receive the BCQB, MFNS, or a combination treatment, for 4-week periods.

Objective: To investigate the effect of Mometasone furoate (Elocon Cream) Nasal Spray (MFNS) treatment on hearing secretory Otitis Media (SOM) in younger children.
Methods: Seventy-six children with SOM (ages 5 to 10 years-old) were selected as study subjects and divided into two groups of 38 cases each using a randomized numerical table. The control group was given conventional treatment, and the observation group was treated with MFNS based on the control group.

Article Synopsis
- Allergic rhinitis is a common issue in children, and while several medications like nasal corticosteroids and antihistamines are used to treat it, there's ongoing debate about the best dosage and combinations for maximum effectiveness.* -
- A study involving 64 children compared the effects of different drug combinations alongside mometasone furoate nasal spray, measuring symptoms like nasal congestion and sneezing.* -
- Results showed that using desloratadine twice daily or a combination of desloratadine and montelukast significantly improved symptom control compared to other treatment options.*

Background: Intranasal antihistamines (INAH), corticosteroids (INCS), and their fixed combinations (INAH+INCS) are one of the cornerstones of the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR). We performed a systematic review and network-meta-analysis comparing the efficacy and safety of INAH, INCS, and INAH+INCS in patients with AR.
Methods: We searched four electronic bibliographic databases and three clinical trial databases for randomised controlled trials assessing the use of INAH, INCS, and INAH+INCS in adults with seasonal or perennial AR.
