Greetings,
Welcome to HealthCareMagic.
Chronic sinusitis is a very common condition these days. And people tend to have surgeries to get rid of it but complete cure is usually not achieved.

Well there are many reasons for this long term issue but one of the most common problem that i notice in my clinic is that either the patient rides a motorbike and is exposed to fast blowing air or has had history of different allergies to different environmental factors. So foremost question here would be if you have either of these problems.

Secondly this problems is also common in those people who are used to keep the temperature of their air conditions of the car, office or the house very low. As they shift from cooler environment like the indoor to outside heat there is sudden change in temperature which worsens nasal congestion and hence sinusitis worsens.

Therefore i would suggest that instead of taking too much of medication and surgeries, you should take care of all the above mentioned factors and avoid mucus collection in the sinus altogether.

To avoid allergies , it is advisable to visit an allergy clinic and sensitization protocols should be followed to reduce episodes of sinusitis due to allergies like pollen allergies.

I hope the answer was helpfull. In case of further assistance , feel free to contact in writing .

Regards,
Dr Talal Hussain
