Is There Any Other Method For Sinus Infection Than Surgery?

If antibiotics don t work for a sinus infection, and nasal rinsing dies not work and antifungal, antibacterial, and antiviral health food products don t work, is next step nasal surgery or is there any other approach not mentioned here that offers hope?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
The most important thing in sinus infection is the proper diagnosis by mean of a properly done and read CT scan of the sinuses, test of blood, culture of nasal discharge if any.

Most of the cases can be due to allergy and respond very well to the medical line of treatment in the form of steroids, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics if necessary.

It is only the cases that have failed medical management that need surgery.
Hence I would advise you to consult an ENT who is conservative in management and understand the topics well.

I hope this answers query, there is no other way to et treated as people have tried other pathies and always failed.
