I've been dealing with sinus issues for a really long time now. Every time I have something cold, I start sneezing nonstop. Even when my room fan is on high speed, I wake up sneezing with a lot of coughing, and it happens in summer too. It's been a year since I could eat ice cream. I've been on homeopathy for 4 months but no improvement. I keep taking Sinarest for temporary relief and go through almost a full strip every month. Is there any permanent solution for this? Would sinus surgery help or will I have to live with this sneezing forever?

septoplasty for DNS is advised to the patient if conservative treatment is ineffective.
