I've had chronic sinusitis for over 10 years and I'm really worried about it getting worse. Is there any way to cure it completely without needing surgery? I've tried so many treatments but nothing seems to work long-term

While complete remission of chronic sinusitis can be a challenge, it's often possible to achieve significant symptom relief and improve quality of life without resorting to surgery. A combination of medical treatments, lifestyle changes, and potential immunotherapies can be very effective in managing the condition long-term.

My brother recently got a CT scan for his sinus problem and ear hole issue, and the doctor is recommending surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost?
It's understandable to want to explore all treatment options before considering surgery. For sinus issues and ear hole problems, non-surgical approaches can be effective in some cases. The cost of surgery can vary significantly, but generally, expect sinus surgery to range from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000 in India. Ear hole problems like tympanic membrane perforations might require tympanoplasty surgery, which can range from Rs. 30,000 to over Rs. 1 lakh, depending on the procedure and hospital

my doctor recommended septoplasty fess and turbinoplasty for a deviated nasal septum and bilateral ethmoid and maxillary sinusitis but I'm not sure if it's really necessary could I manage without surgery or are there other options
It's understandable to have concerns about surgery, especially when dealing with a deviated septum and sinusitis. While surgical correction (septoplasty, FESS, and turbinoplasty) can be effective for these conditions, it's not always the first or only option. You can explore alternative approaches, such as medication and lifestyle changes, to manage your symptoms before considering surgery
