hi.. thanks for using HCM.. you have acute rhinitis with probably ASOM.. see your ENT surgeon for the diagnosis and management.. for ASOM, gromet insertion may be done for the drainage of fluid.. if it has gone for suppurative change, then operative management may be needed.. for allergic rhinitis, prevention of exposure to allergen is best, along with that mast cell stabilizer like montelucast may be used.. if it doesnot work, go for testing and desensitization of the allergen.. good luck.. bye.
your sinuses are involved due to allergy post nasal drip of mucus in throat which passes through the eustachian tubes to fill the middle ear when you do a course of antibiotics it recovers partially and again cause same get xray pns waters view and treat them after consulting the ent doctor mean while can use antibiotics anti allergics neomycin h ointment in nose bd sea water 2 drops at night eac nose to cler back of throat and ears analgesic sos for pain
the steroids in nasal spray cuses dry mucosa and the sores are due to dry mucosa add anti allergics apply antibiotic ixed with anti allergic ointment for long lot of arm water
