Hello,
There are features consistent with chronic sinusitis. Surgery will be the best option. Nothing much to worry as it is a minimal invasive procedure like FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery) and results will be good.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
