My daughter, aged 26 is suffering from Sinus problem for more than 2 years. She has done surgery for deviation of nasal septum. during sleep in night; phlegm secretes inside the nose, causing blockage and much sneezing. In the morning she has to blow and clear her nose several times. Please give your valuable advise.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
There are two possibilities in your daughter 's case.
1. Allergic rhinitis and sinusitis
2. Partial correction of DNS (deviated nasal septum).
So better to consult ENT doctor and get done clinical examination of nose to rule out partial correction of DNS. If it is there then she will need revision surgery for DNS.
If DNS is not there then possibility of allergic rhinitis and sinusitis is more.
So give her nasal spray containing steroids (fluticasone) one puff in each nostril twice daily.
Oral combination of antihistamine (levocetrizine or fexofenadine) and anti allergic (montelukast) is also beneficial in her case.
So consult ENT doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your daughter. Thanks.
