What Causes Breathing Difficulty After Using Flonase For Nasal Congestion?

I went to a minute clinic earlier today. No fever, I have sinus pressure, nasal congestion, runny nose, irritated scratchy throat. She told me it may be the start of something viral. Was given lidocaine to gargle, a saline spray,and told to get Flonase. I tried the Flonase, but I m not sure how well I got it to spray into my nostril about 5 hours ago.... I can t breathe through my nose at all, but can blow it with effort. No saline yet and no Lidocaine.. Should I try the Flonase again? And how soon would be ok?
