Brief Answer:
Steam inhalation is likely to provide relief
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through the details provided. I find a direct correlation between the blockage of her nasolacrymal duct as well as her sinus problem. In either case the culprit seems to be thick mucus. My suggestion would be to ask her to take steam inhalation a few times a day. Alternatively, nebulization with 3% NaCl can also be taken. The water in form of vapor will reach deep inside and would help in diluting the cough and would thus provide relief. This has to be continued. Some antiallergic like cetiritizine can be taken once daily off and on for a few days. I would also insist on gentle stroking from the angle of eye on each side downward to the ala of the nose. This should help in opening of the nasolacrymal ducts. Probing can be done but unless the thick mucus is taken care of, thing are unlikely to improve.
I do not think that anything else is likely to be helpful.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards

Thank you Mr. Dr. Prof. XXXXXXX Saha. I have explained her that in answer. My sister some-how disturbed psychologically assuming that she never be cured and she will die soon with this disease. My question is that is a chronic Synise dangerous - due to which people die? I think my sister simple afraid of this disease. In considering her situation my family asked me to take her to some good Doctor- from where she would believe that she will be cured. If requires my family even ready to go for surgery. Is it a case of surgery – doctor? Doctor – is there any alternative method to find level of chronicity and type of infection or may be any type of test that would help you in understanding her better. If she intends where should I take her so that the required treatment can be pursued with good care. Doctor please help me with this..
Brief Answer:
It is not a lethal disease.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for writing back. I can understand your apprehension (both yours and hers). Let me assure that it is not a lethal disease and she is not going to die. This is a treatable condition and sinusitis does not kill anyone. However, getting nebulization is very important. I do not see the role of any surgery.
Numerous people have diabetes. But even though it is not curable, with treatment people can lead a normal life and can have a long life. Similar is her case. So, ask her to stop panicking.
