I have a child who's just started fluticasone furoate nasal spray and has dark circles under her eyes. Could this be related?

It isn't a listed side effect that I can see. If your child is missing sleep because of a blocked nose then that may be the cause of the dark circles. Nasal spray technique is difficult and my GP had to show me (pre-youtube days) as I was spraying the med and instantly swallowing it rather than allowing it to soak in the nasal cavity.
This is one of the better guides I found; youtu.be/LOhmsn4gQMM
Thank you Poobah. That was very informative. I have been doing it wrong for decades!😁😁
Have you considered using a Sterimar spray instead?Reason I ask is that an ENT consultant told me that they are counter productive and he recommended I’d be better using the sterimar instead.
