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?
