I've had sinusitis for almost two months now and even after taking antibiotics and using a nasal spray, the pressure just won't go away. My CT scan showed a slightly deviated septum to the left, right concha bullosa, hypertrophy of both inferior nasal turbinates, and polypoidal thickening in the maxillary and left ethmoid bulla. Should I consider surgery or wait it out for a few more years?

I've been feeling like I constantly need to clear my throat, it's been happening for the last five days and it's starting to bother me. I wonder if it might be related to some kind of gastric reflux, but I'm not really sure. There hasn't been any coughing or a cold involved, so I'm a bit puzzled about what's going on. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
Your persistent need to clear your throat, without cough or cold, could be related to gastric reflux, as stomach acid can flow up into the throat, causing irritation and mucus production, but other possibilities include allergies, sinus issues, or environmental irritants, so consider consulting an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
