Hi, I ve had a sinus problem for a few years, had an operation to open the sinus up and shave the walls, I ll be honest it didn t do much, I was given a steroid spray which also doesn t help. I was reading a few articles tonight about sinus plugs and that s what I always seem to get, is there anything to help or and operation to prevent this ? Thanks

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

Sinus plugs are nothing but mucous plugs or thick mucous that gets accumulated into the sinuses leading to congestion..
In case if you are not relieved with surgery of sinuses I would suggest you to consult an ENT Surgeon and get evaluated, he can advise you to get investigations like PNS view x ray or MRI scan of sinuses and get treated accordingly..

You can be advised to take a course of antibiotics like Augmentin, anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen, anti-allergics like Levocetrizine,oral decongestants like Phenylephrine, Mucolytics like Ambroxol, decongestant nasal sprays like Xylometazoline, steam inhalations, saline nasal irrigation and use a humidifier in your room..
You should avoid chilled foods and air-conditioned atmosphere..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
