How Can Blocked Sinuses And Teeth Pain Be Managed When Allergic To Penicillin And Sulfa Products?

Paranasal imaging is mandatory
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As per your symptoms, the possibility of an obstructive rhinosinusitis is very high.
This require a HRCT( high resolution compact tomography) to identify the level of obstruction either at the level of nasal septum or within the paranasal areas.

Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe these medications and tests to her.
In most cases of obstructive rhinosinusitis, a surgical intervention is usually required.
