Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern.
1. Since you are a diagnosed case along with necessary examination thus do let me know about any other possibilities, like:
i. any associated toothache, headache, eye strain, facial pain and pressure, nasal discharge, poor sense of smell,bad breath.??
ii. Duration of taking Allopathic Medicine and any addiction?
iii. Is your blood sugar under control [both fasting and post prandial values]?
PS. Since diabetes is one of the cause of immunocompromised state which means a poor immune system makes you more prone to any infection.
iv. are you a mouth breather or not, and history of snoring?
a. Since you are not willing to undergo Surgery, thus preventive & Prophylactic Aspect is mentioned:
. Drink liquid-based hot vegetables in form of soup which will help liquefy mucus and promote nasal drainage, thus helping the sinuses restore to their normal state.
. Do not consume any beverages containing caffeine because these beverages can lead to dehydration and increased nasal congestion.
. DIETARY MANAGEMENT
1.Avoid: Heavy, slimy and acidic food, curd, mustard oil, excess physical exertion, sunlight-dust areas, exposure to strong winds, day sleeping, smoking, potato, green leafy vegetables. Cold water/food
2.Take: Old brown rice, soup of moong dal, black grapes, cow’s or goat milk, garlic, lukewarm water to drink, black pepper, dried ginger, honey, mulethi, launga
3. Take Raw ginger+ raw turmeric: [2 gm each] and fry in cow’s ghee [6 gm] and thereafter add 6 gm jaggery and take at bed time [during night]
