Hi,
Since you have an acute condition right now, it is advised you adress it and continue with nasal spray. Also , it's only for 15 days.
In the meanwhile you can consult local ophthalmologist for eye pressure check. If it's normal you need not worry. If it's raised, then discuss the condition with your physician, who will help you out.
