Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Don't use it for long time. Give it for continuous 2 months. Give 1 puff once daily. There are less side effects with this steroid spray. Steroid spray are not absorbed in the blood, so they cause less complications.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
