Ive had really bad rhinosinusitis in both nostrils for many years (nasal area so inflamed cant breathe through nose without exerting maximum effort)
I went to the ENT and i got prescribed corticosteroids like dymista etc
I heard that corticosteroids can stunt growth during puberty.
I am 14 (basically 15) 5,5 with already fucked shitty ass genetics from both my parents.
So im wondering if using corticosteroids will fuck my height even more.

Your fucked without them,and just slightly fucked with them

If you have trouble breathing,it can cause night mouth breathing,sleep apnea.and generally shitty cuz I imagine having little oxygen at all time sucks

those 3 issues alone outweigh everything you can get from corticosteroids

So what do you think?
 
Yea man you’re right I took them for 2 weeks now I can properly breathe for the first time in years and I still grew around 2 cm while using them
