Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Your problem is most likely chronic sinusitis. A consultation by an ENT specialist is well appreciated. In case of presence bacterial infection characterised by purulent discharge proper antibiotics should be taken. Adequate sinus drainage should be ensured by nasal decongesnts like oxymetazoline. Anti inflammatory drugs like nimusulide helps in decreasing pain and inflammation. I also advise to take vitamin C chewable form in patients with such condition which also help to get ridd off this. Taking steam inhalation also is helpful. If these all no helping then X ray of paranasal sinus and endoscopy is advised.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
