Brief Answer:
You are prescribed the right kind of treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.

I can certainly understand your concerns.

Yes, you are prescribed the right kind of conservative treatment for your sinus related issues.

Both Furamist and Relent are excellent in reducing the congestion and relieving the blocked nose.

But after 1 week, instead of X-ray nose, it is advisable to go for CT scan of the paranasal sinuses.This test can accurately detect associated septal deviations or maxillary sinusitis responsible for blocked nose.

Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
