General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

Consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.

As a first line management, a short course of antibiotics can be tried.

Do steam inhalation and saline nasal drops also. If symptoms persist it is better to go for surgical correction.

You can opt for minimal invasive procedures like FESS (functional endoscopic sinus surgery.)

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
