| Re: fed up with sinus problems
If you have tried the complete medication and allergy treatment route.. you can go to an ENT and most likely get some help.
They will try the least invasive first.. or should.
1) Bilateral Turboplasty.. and any necessary structural fixes like a pollump removal or septoplasty if needed.
2) Humm.. depends on the ENT and how many infections you get a year. Six- nine sinus/ear/tonsillitus infections a year will earn you a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy with sinus window insertion and additional membrane reduction.
3) No tonsillitis, just sinus and ear infections - membrane reduction and window insertion.
4) Tonsilliths or stones may warrent a tonsillectomy as well.
If you feel surgery is your last resort, you need to go to an ENT.
Sincerely,
MG
