Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. A dust allergy is difficult to avoid as a non-specific allergy cannot be avoided at all times and has no cure. It can only be controlled by medication.
2. A two week trial with a steroid nasal spray added to your current medication should be taken.
3. Depending upon the response, this medication may be continued for a month and then tapered off over three months. If the response is poor, get a plain Sinus CT Scan done.
4. This is a common problem. Kindly follow up after the trial with the steroid nasal spray and images of the Sinus CT Scan, if necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any follow up queries, I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
