Medical Management

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for reverting back.

1. Since problem is existing from last 5 months thus Acute stage is changing to Chronic Sinusitis thus and do consult again with ENT surgeon whether surgical correction/resurrection is needed or not.

2. DIETARY REGIME

i. Avoid: heavy, slimy and acidic food, curd, mustard oil, excess physical exertion, sunlight-dust areas, exposure to strong winds, day sleeping, smoking
. Potato, green leafy vegetables. Cold water/food

. Take: old brown rice, soup of moong dal, black grapes, cow’s or goat milk, garlic, lukewarm water to drink, black pepper, dried ginger, honey, mulethi, launga

. Take Raw ginger+ raw turmeric: [2 gm each] and fry in cow’s ghee [6 gm] and thereafter add 6 gm jaggery and take at bed time [during night]

3. MEDICAL MANAGEMENT
Successful prescription for you will be

i. XXXXXXX XXXXXXX ras+ shringa bhasma+ Shuddha man shila+ madhuyashti/sitopladi churan: twice a day with cow’s ghee
ii. Chitrak haritki: at bed time [20gm]
iii. Vyoshadi churan: after meals, two times

4.
i. In Ayurveda we hold that nose is the gateway to head, thus start practicing NASYA [errhine therapy], after consulting/guidance of an Ayurveda physician [with shadbindu tail]
PS. If there is deviated nasal septum, avoid use of Nasya

ii. take high protein diet ( egg (white), soyamilk, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, peanuts, almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices , legumes, sprouted pulses/cereals, milk with protein powder and deep breathing Exercises [anulom vilom]

iii. Vitamin A: helps to maintain Thymus gland which is a powerful antiviral gland: thus XXXXXXX carrots, cantaloupe, egg yolk, apricots, pumpkin, papaya, are ideal.

iv. Vitamin C: is needed for proper functioning of immune system: amla [india gooseberry] is best

v. Vitamin E: is a powerful anti oxidant which helps to stimulate antibody
production: peanuts, dried apricots, cooked spinach, taro root can be taken

PS. Autohaemo Injection: In my Clinical practice I usually withdraw 4 ml of patient's blood and inject immediately, deep IM, in gluteal region for stimulation of immune system.
