Brief Answer:
Sinusitis, needs evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,


I had gone through your question and understand your concerns that you are having blocked nose with difficulty in clearing of throat.


As per you clinical details, it appears to be sinusitis secondary to deviated nasal septum.


I suggest you to consult ent surgeon, get detailed Ent examination ( deviated septum, turbinate hypertrophy), nasal endoscopy ( sinusitis- presence of pus at sinus openings) , If necessary blood tests( absolute eosinophilic count, serum Ig E) for allergy - vuala itching. Depending on the examination, treatment can be started.


Hope this answers your question, if you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.

can be serious, with complications.

Detailed Answer:

Hello again,


Thanks for considering my answer and for your follow up.


Seriousness depends on the complications.

As such sinusitis secondary to deviated septum can cause, asthma, repeated episodes of lung infections, sore throat and Eustachian tube dysfunction leading to ear drum infection.

Kindly evaluate and get treated, before the complications.

All the best,

Take care.
