Hi,
Noted your history of dryness and pain in nose with crust formation, using many a things including
Nasonex, herb products,
homeopathy etc and your ENT has said about hypertrophied turbinates,, postnasal drip and tenacious fluid.
You have explained so well that the problem lies in the nose and thus a
sinusitis.
NEED THE FOLLOWING:
CT scan of nose and
sinuses.
Nasal swab for gram staining,
tuberculosis, culture and sensitivity.
X-ray of chest.
Tests of blood.
All these will give you the best possible diagnosis so that a specific treatment either medical or surgical or both can be given.
Till then use the medications as advise.
Take plain water steam inhalation.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT & General Surgeon
