Are you on any medications currently? Has a CT scan of your sinuses been done? Are you allergic to any specific substances? Have you had allergic reactions in the past?
You could take oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine and see if it helps with your symptoms. Also take steam inhalation and saline nasal drops several times a day.
If your symptoms still persist, you should consult your doctor because then you would need to get certain investigations done and would probably need steroid nasal sprays and a course of antibiotics.
Let us know about any other doubts that you have and post us on how you are doing.
Regards.
thanks

It would be best to talk to your doctor about getting a CT scan of your sinuses done. Talk to him/her about nasal steroid sprays and would they help in your case.
What surgery are the ENT specialists suggesting?
What oral steroids and in what dose have you taken?

Do get back to us.

thank you......bec i have never thought abt the CT scan..neither my doc EVER talked abt this.....

A CT scan would help to find out if there is any sinusitis, bony lesions, any deviated nasal septum , etc.
You should talk to your doctor about steroid nasal sprays too, and till then contine with steam inhalation, saline nasal drops and oral antihistamine medications.
Keep us posted and let us know about how you are doing and if you need any other information.
