Hi, I am Dr Mittal. I have read your message. I think I can help you.


The symptoms of the query are quite suggestive of a possible sinusitis.

I suggest that you test with x ray PNS WATERS VIEW.

Meanwhile, start with
1. high fluids
2. steam inhalation 4 times a day,
3. multivitamins course once a day
4. warm saline gargles 4 times a day,
5. paracetamol sos
6. antibiotics as per local sensitivity

I have tried to make it as simple as possible. I hope that the information contained in this message will be able to help you find the best solution for your problem. Best of luck. Dr Mittal
