Nasal Steroid - tips or advice please??

I posted about my daughter's breathing issues in the new mom's forum about possibly needing to take her tonsils out - she's got a terrible snore and an apnea while she sleeps. i don't know what to do about it, but the everyone says before they consider other things i should try something like nasonex for at least a month. i don't know what to do. . . i hate medications but at the same time i know how unhealthy an apnea is for the whole body.
i don't know why i'm posting - i didn't get many replies in the new mom's, and wanted the advice from other mom's who might not run to medications that quickly. . .
thanks in advance, i'd really appreciate any stories, tips, or suggestions. . .

What does your ENT say about it?

Nasonex is a pretty amazing medication. It is topical, so very little (if any) is absorbed into the bloodstream. I don't know about it's use for anything other than allergies though, since it is just for the nasal passages. And actually, I think that my husband's snoring may be better when he is using Nasonex. But he doesn't have apnea, just normal old snoring.

I don't like taking medications, I prefer to use a natural route, but I do use Nasonex seasonally to avoid horrible sinus irritations that ultimately turn into horrible sinus infections. Nothing else helps quite the way Nasonex does.

thank you! i'll keep trying the nasonex, just to see. before doing anything surgical i want to try what else we can. but i am the same way with not wanting to take medications, or have my children take them. it makes me nervous.
