Hi

Welcome in HCM

I understand your concern and as you said about muscle twitching of left side face and nostril, this is a very uncommon feature of sinusitis patient but whenever it develops than one has to investigate involvement of infra-orbital nerve of affected side by doing C.T.Scan of Para nasal sinuses.

So please consult your ENT doctor for examination, investigation and treatment.

Till you are waiting for specialist you may take-

1- Steroids

2- Methicobalamine.

3- Nasal decongestant.

4- Steam inhalation.

I hope above answers your query.

Thanks for consulting HCM.
