ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hello,
You will have to consult ENT specialist and get done CT scan of nose and paranasal sinuses to see if there is disease in the sinuses or there is leak anywhere.
After that it will be possible to comment on the further treatment .
YOu can start with antibiotics like roxithromycin and nasal and oral decongestants.
Nasal sprays like normal saline sprays and steroid sprays can be planned to use after the scan.
