How Long Do Flonase And Claritin Take To Be Effective?
I have a severe earache. I ve been to the doctors today. There is no infection. They told me to take Flonase and Claritin. They also prescribed prednisone. I took my first dose 5 hours ago with Flonase and Claritin. How long will it be before I find relief? Can I take advil with prednisone?

Hello,
Please have patience the medications will work. Continue to take the prescribed medicines.
You should not take Advil or any other NSAIDS while taking Prednisone as they may interact & cause side effects that may cause gut discomforts.
If the pain is much you can take Acetaminophen/Paracetamol, it is not considered NSAIDS, it is safer to use.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
