Hi Eugene, after loads of research on sinus, I decided against the op and against constant anti bios. What I found is that diet plays a HUGE part in sinus infections. I am now gluten free, sugar free (I use honey if I need a sweetner), very low dairy and very low carb... I have also taken an antifungal & if I feel my sinus swelling after a small amount of sugar, I take a serrapeptase (an enzyme) tab, which stops the inflamation dead.... "Researchers have found that most cases of chronic sinusitis are not caused by infection but are actually an immune disorder caused by fungus. In a 1999 study, the researchers discovered that fungal organisms were present in the mucus of 96 percent of patients who had surgery for chronic sinusitis, and inflammatory cells were clumped around the fungi, which meant the condition was an immune disorder caused by fungus. They took the research a bit further and in the next study found that a fungicide was effective in decreasing inflammation and nasal swelling among participants suffering from chronic sinusitis. The researchers are hoping the study will lead to the development of new antifungal medications to treat the condition. Although antifungals may be more effective than antibiotics--antibiotics make fungal infections worse--there are other steps you can take to lessen your risk of sinus infections by getting at the underlying cause."  Google diet and sinus and you will find that if you change your diet you will drastically curtail sinus problems, the candida diet or paleo diet will help, as will a good probiotic to keep the gut healthy and curtail candida which feeds on sugar & can live in the nose -  carbs turn into glucose and make the blood sugar levels rise. If I have had a small dose of sugar I can feel my sinus's inflame, same with milk "One cup of 2-percent milk contains 12.3 grams of sugar, more than a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup " and "Grains such as wheat, rye, rice and barley also contributes to the excessive sugar we consume everyday"  Do some research on diet and sinus and give it a go, you may find you have an allergy to sugar like I did. Good luck. L

So sorry you hve this problem. If you have been taking lots of antibiotics you need to replace the good bacteria in the gut that these hvae killed when they killed any bad ones. I would also consider if you have silent acid reflux disease which is causing the so called sinus problems. A deviated septum can easily be put right.

There is not. But actually surgery techniques has improved. I was done the surgery just a month ago by microdebridator that is new and btw american, the recovery was just so fast and I could see they worked hard myturbinates without cutting them. If you are in USA I would go for the second surgery, I did the same I procastinated for several years the surgery but I cannot regret it, I knew all the reasons of the problem and knew what to do.  But, mate what have they done to find the reasons for the sinus, allergies, samples to know the bacteria? You will not find a miracle but you can definetly improve the chances of having a second succeful surgery. Finally, are you having any problem with having a full surgery with septumplast? I think I was at a similar situation and  I had to coordinate treatments and surgery from three countries before finding cure

I cannot agree with you, if you need the surgery nothing will work. I won't go away but if helps the following tips. Septumplasty is not a plastic surgery it straightens the septum what is part of the surgery as deviated septum may cause turbinates hipertrofia. Were you tested for allergies? Certainly my surgery would have not worked if i had not started first treating my allergy. If you utterly believe doctors in NY are wrong so change location, I believe it works. My allergist specialist is in Dublin and the ENT who performed the surgery is in venezuela and it was the best idea I ever had.
