Once a day spray for a month is not a very long time. It only rarely causes side effects in your eyes. So don't worry too much Kindly get an online consultation to address all your concerns

It's a steroid spray. In susceptible individuals, it can cause an increase in eye pressure. You can get your eye pressure tested regularly. Continue nasal spray.
