Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have on going sinus problem along with stuffy nose, achy shoulder blades and occasional fever which is due to infection in sinuses. Need not to panic about it. Do warm saline gargles. Sip on luke warm water. Hot milk with a pinch of turmeric boiled with it at bed time for 2-3 days. Take muscle relaxants. I would suggest you to take nasal decongestant sprays, antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Maintain oral hygiene. Take proper course of antibiotics. Get blood tests done if required. You should avoid cold carbonated beverages.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
