Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.
I have read CT Scan report.
As per your clinical history & CT scan report it appears that your wife are having Deviated nasal septum to left with allergic Rhino-sinusitis .
If I were your wife treating doctor, I would advice her Steam Inhalation , saline nasal drop twice daily , Steroid nasal spray with antihistamine 2 puff each nostril twice daily for 6 weeks & Macrolide Antibiotic azithromycin for 10 days . Continue xyzal M .
See the response with above treatment .If response is good you can avoid surgery.
Even after surgery you need to take long term medication for sneezing.
You can discuss this with your treating doctor.
Hope this information helpful to you .If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
