Brief Answer:
Hii. If you are having sinus infection then you should consult an Ent surge

Detailed Answer:
Hii. If you are having sinus infection then you should consult an Ent surgeon because you need to find out whether you have allergic rhinitis or fungal infection or any other bacterial infection. You can do a CT scan of sinuses and discuss with an Ent surgeon. Don't take antibiotic on your own. You can start fluticasone nasal spray, anti allergic tablet levocetrizine. You can start steam inhalation. Avoid allergens like dust, cold. Clean your bed sheet, pillow cover twice weekly.
Note: Consult an experienced Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist online for further follow up on ear, nose, and throat issues - Book a Call now.
