Hi,
Since X-ray was done and was suggestive of sinusitis I would advise you the following in such a situation:
- Consult an ENT Surgeon for ENT endoscopy
- Supportive tests of blood
- Confirmatory CT scan of sinuses
- X-ray of chest to see whether the chest condition is causing coughing
All these will give the most appropriate diagnosis and allow for specific treatment.
- Continue nasal sprays, decongestant and cough syrup as symptomatic treatment.
- Take steam inhalation.
- Povidone iodine gargles.
+ Complete the courses till cured.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
