Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Possible causes of sinusitis are infections, allergic/non-allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, nasal polyps or deviated nasal septum. Surgery that can be done is Functional Endoscopic sinus surgery or a Caldwell luc operation. If there are any previous endoscopies done, provide them for assessment to know whether surgery is necessary. In the mean while try these:
- Gargle with salt water daily 4-5 times.
- Use hot water vaporizer by day and humidifier at night.
- Stay away from cold food and drinks.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
