Hello.. Welcome to HCM.

I am Dr Jigar(ID specialist).

Chronic sinusitis is a really disturbing condition. Due to nasal congestion and blockadge breathing becomes laborious and incomplete which lead to these king of symptoms.

If i would be your treating doctor then i would have done following things.

1- Detailed history of patient to have insight into causative or precipitating factors.

2- Radiological investigation preferably contrast CT of sinuses.

3- Endoscopic evaluation and biopsy for observing lesion and specimen for bacterial and fungal culture. Immunological tests for allergen must be done to prevent exposure to various allergens.

4- Treatment initially will be directed to suspected pathogen in form of antibiotics and symptomatic relief.

5- if after medical measures it is not relieved then ENT surgeon must be consulted and evaluation should be done for surgery.

6- Regarding diet food allergen must be avoided.Only garlic has proven to be beneficial in chronic sinusitis by various studie. So it should be included in diet.

I hope i have answered your concern in best possible way. I will be glad to help you further.

Regards.
Dr Jigar.
