Hello.

Thank you for asking at HCM.

Your 1st question: Mondeslor - it is a non-steroidal drug which is effective both for allergic rhinitis and asthma.

2nd question: Rhinocort and Mondeslor both for allergic rhinitis. Rhinocort is more potent than Mondeslor; Rhinocort is an intranasal corticosteroid while Mondeslor is non-steroidal drug.

So personally I would suggest you to start both, Rhinocort and Mondeslor as you have severe nose symptoms, but switch to Mondeslor only as early as possible (when nose symptoms are controlled).

Hope this will be helpful to you.

Wish you best of the health.

Regards.
