I've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?

Intense, left-sided headaches accompanied by sinus issues could indicate a sinus infection or other sinus-related conditions. To manage these symptoms, try saline nasal sprays, warm compresses, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult a doctor.

View allI was diagnosed with an antrochoanal polyp after a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm okay with surgery but I'm curious to know if my polyp is considered big or small since I don't have facial pain and only one nostril is 40% blocked while the other is fine. I had a sinus infection about 10 months ago could that be related? Do I really need surgery?
An antrochoanal polyp's size isn't determined by nostril blockage alone. While a 40% blockage is noticeable, it's the polyp's location and extent, as seen in your CT scan, that dictates its size and potential for surgery. Your recent sinus infection could have contributed to the polyp's growth, and while some patients may need surgery, others may respond well to medical treatments. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery suggests a need for complete removal to address your symptoms and prevent recurrence.

I've been taking HIFENACP twice daily for 3 days, along with Levocetirizine and Azithromycin once daily because I had a fever of 102 and body ache. I'm almost done with the medication, but my throat infection is still really bad. Should I continue the medication or switch to something else? If yes, what would you recommend?
yes continue the treatment
