Question: Hello Doctor,

I am diagnosed for chronic sinusitis and I consulted a General Physician initially and he gave me antibiotics and mucolite tablet to control the mucous. I had them for couple of weeks and since there was no improvement went to another doctor. He again prescribed me few antibiotics and a week after I started having headaches and mucus turned thick and green.

Went for a xray scan of the sinuses and found that I am facing the sinusitis issue. Went to an ENT specialist and he prescribed me antibiotics and asked me to get a CT Scan. During my second consultation with him, he explained me that I am facing chronic sinusitis and its been infected more than 80% and there has to be intervention to clear the issue and suggested FESS within 3 weeks time.

I wanted a second opinion, so went to another doctor and he told me to stop taking the tablets and prescribed me the new ones attached in IMAG2215.jpg. He told me to take his prescription and come back to him after a week. He also suggested steam inhalation with eucalyptus tablet which was not suggested by other doctors. The other doctors suggested just steam inhalation with plain water only.

I am totally confused on what to do. Is FESS recommended or can it be cured with medication? I am having this issue for the first time.

I also want to know what could the be cause of this? Food Allergy? Bacteria? Virus?

Could you please advice me on this.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kind Regards,
XXXX
