What Causes Congestion In Nasopharynx Along With Post Nasal Drip?

Hi. I have been experiencing sinus issues for the past four years. The symptoms are congestion in the nasopharynx that doesn t drain and causes post nasal drip and pain at the top of the throat. Also severe sinus headaches and pressure in the nose and between the eyes. Some days are good, some bad. I have been down the allergy and ENT route but have not found a permanent solution. I had a turbinate reduction in May and it only temporarily relieved these symptoms. I get an allergy shot once a week for dust mites and have had all my IgG levels balanced through shots from the allergist. I have seen several ENTS. I have been on steroids, antibiotics, done rinses and sprays and also use this silver compound called Argyrol. In addition I have had my sinuses scanned and been checked neurologically. I have started to go down the laryngopharyngeal reflux path to see if that is the culprit. I am a singer and this is highly frustrating issue in that regard but has become so severe that it has affacted my everyday life and I am kind of at the end of the rope here. I have also been considering acupuncture. I really need help in this issue. I am begging- any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

It may be due to sinusitis.

For that you may Continue steam inhalation.

Continue saline or betadine gargles twice a day.

Still you may require x ray sinuses after ENT consultation.
