Hello and welcome to health care magic,
If you do have headache you need surgery but if you do not have headache you do not have to take the surgery in an emergency basis. However if there are polyps or other lesions in the sinus then surgery is recommended. In any case you can get a CT PNS and get back to me or any ENT so that I can help you out better.
