I've had chronic sinusitis for the past 7 years and nothing seems to help is FESS surgery safe or can it still be treated with medications? Really worried about whether meds can still work after this long or if surgery is my only option

View allI'm 27 years old, weigh 72kg, and my height is 174cm. Lately, I've been sneezing a lot in the mornings, probably because of the cold weather. I've also been feeling some heaviness in my head. When I blow my nose by pinching it shut, I hear this ticking sound near my nose. It even happens when I'm just doing normal activities. Does this sound like a sinus infection to you? Could it be because of the cold? I'm really curious and a bit worried about what's going on.

I've noticed that each time I bend over, drops of water seem to leak from my right nostril. It happens about 35 drops on average, and this pattern repeats every 15 to 20 days. Should I be worried about this, or is it something common?

I'm really puzzled about this recent issue with my left ear. For the past four days, whenever I sleep, my left ear gets blocked, and I can't seem to hear out of it. I've tried switching from a soft pillow to a harder one, thinking that might be the cause, but it's still happening. In the mornings, I can get it to open by shaking my head for about 20 minutes, but I'm curious why this keeps happening just on the left side. Could you help diagnose what's going on and suggest any solutions?
You may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction, which can cause a feeling of blockage in the ear. I recommend using a decongestant nasal spray such as Afrin (oxymetazoline) to help open up the Eustachian tube and relieve the blockage. You can also try taking an oral decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce congestion in the nasal passages. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help keep the nasal passages moist and aid in relieving the blockage. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
