Hi,
Noted the history about an young 19 year old female having sinusitis, running nose and hair loss, fear of surgery and Allopathy hence took homeopathy and Ayurvedic medicines. First of all consult an ENT Surgeon and get clinical evaluation, examination, and investigations like CT scan of sinuses which is a must to know the exact diagnosis. Relevant tests of blood including that for vitamins as you have hair loss too.
If there is inflammation and polyp formation a 3 week course of proper medicines including oral steroids in reducing doses, and whichever your Doctor would suggest may help you to get a probable cure. Surgery is indicated only if the medical management fails and anyways your taking other medicines has not helped you.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
