Brief Answer:
surgery-inevitable, medical college-second opinion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
As per your details (clinical details + ct report) - you Require surgery, can be done under general anesthesia, needs 1-2 hours time interval.
As such, medications will not help in chronic cases, because deviation(bony septum) and blockage of osteomeatal complex can be corrected only through surgery. Kindly go ahead.
You can visit any medical college or major hospital in your place for second opinion.
Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
