Hi dear
welcome to the HCM
Child is suffering with some allergic phenonmenon leading to the nasal blockage and some breathing difficulty.
Along with the flonase he may also be considered giving some antihistaminic and decongestant medicine to the reduce the allergic aliment.
Bronchodilator medicines like salbutamol may also be added if he is having some congestion.
Hope the query is answered.
thanks
