Good evening

thank you for writing on health care magic

Well, I am not an expert in this disease But can give you a guidance.

For the sinuses if they are that tough, you need to get a CT done for it. CT will detect the inflammation and further management needed. At times, the cleaning is needed and at other times, medical therapy works. But continue with steam inhalation and Anti allergics. Sinuses can cause POst-nasal drip( feeling of trickling down the throat), so we need to decongest them.

Hope the information was useful. Do get in touch with ENT specialist. you can ask for a refund incase you wanna change consultations as well
