Can nasonex build your immune system also?

Question

I take nasonex not constant, but a good month at a time. In the past 4 years i haven`t gone more than 2 weeks in a row without getting back on it. It`s the first 4 years of my life that i haven`t got sick at all. I know there is a steroid in nasonex but can this be helping me not get sick also.

Answer 1

Steroids inhibit the immune response, so that can't be the reason for the absence of infections. Most likely, if nasonex has helped, its because it is preventing sinus/nasal infections that are caused by blocked passages. Nasonex opens the nasal and sinus passages so they can drain and keep bacteria and viruses from building up.
