From your ct scan report i would strongly suggest that you go for surgery as it looks like that your sinus infection is severe. However surgery is not the only solution as you will still need medications after surgery to prevent a recurrence. Even now you can be started on steroid nasal sprays and a course of antibiotics and if you feel better you may not need surgery , please discuss this with your ent doctor.Please continue the steam inhalation, it is very useful.
Thanks
