I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still get heavy pressure around my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now, I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol HCl 60mg, which helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, it caused sinus congestion and discharge. What do you suggest?

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?
No there are no such side effects,no need to worry, take rest you will be fine.

I'm really struggling because I've got a nasal polyp that just won't quit and it's especially bad at night. I usually use Otrivin nasal spray which helps a lot, but I'm out of it right now. The polyp is making it so I cant breathe well and Im having trouble sleeping. What can I do to open up my nasal passage right away?
If drug treatment doesn't shrink or eliminate nasal polyps, you may need endoscopic surgery to remove polyps and to correct problems with your sinuses that make them prone to inflammation and polyp development... Your surgeon may also enlarge the openings leading from your sinuses to your nasal passages. Endoscopic surgery is usually performed as an outpatient procedure.
