Corticosteroids for the common cold

Abstract

Fluticasone nasal spray as an adjunct to amoxicillin for acute sinusitis in children: a randomized controlled trial.

Benefits and Safety of Nasal Saline Irrigations in a Pandemic—Washing COVID-19 Away

“…A Cochrane systematic review of 3 double-blind, randomized clinical trials of intranasal steroids (fluticasone or beclomethasone) for management of URIs found no evidence that intranasal steroid sprays improved URI symptom severity or duration. 4 Their review did not identify significantly different rates of adverse events regardless of intranasal steroid use. So, while nasal steroids did not significantly alter URI symptom control, no significant harm was detected in this review.…”

Clinical Practice Guideline: Adult Sinusitis Update

“…While not supported by a large body of evidence, the use of topical corticosteroids in VRS is an option for symptomatic relief given the low burden of risk. A systematic review on this topic noted a number needed to treat (NNT) of 13 and indicated that longer courses and higher doses had greater effect 108 . Guaifenesin (an expectorant) and dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant) are often used for symptomatic relief of VRS symptoms, but evidence of clinical efficacy is lacking and decisions regarding their use are largely related to patient and provider preference.…”

Diagnosis dan Tata Laksana Rinosinusitis Akut

“…1,7,12,13 Penggunaan corticosteroid nasal untuk meredakan gejala rinosinusitis akut viral ataupun bakterial tidak dianjurkan. 14 Akan tetapi, sebuah studi menemukan bahwa corticosteroid intranasal dapat meredakan nyeri wajah dan kongesti nasal pada pasien rinosinusitis akut dan rinitis alergi, sehingga pemakaiannya perlu mempertimbangkan preferensi pasien. 7 Corticosteroid nasal juga efektif mengurangi gejala rinosinusitis akut post-viral, akan tetapi efeknya kecil, sehingga pemakaiannya dipertimbangkan hanya apabila benar-benar diperlukan.…”
