Antral Washout Treatment in India

Vivaan Williams, a 28-year-old graphic designer, had always been active and social. For over a year, he battled a persistent, dull pressure and pain behind his cheeks and eyes, accompanied by constant thick, yellow nasal discharge and a reduced sense of smell. Multiple courses of antibiotics provided only temporary relief. His ENT specialist, Dr. Evans, explained that Vivaan had chronic maxillary sinusitis that wasn't responding to medication. The sinuses were likely blocked with infected material. Dr. Evans recommended an Antral Washout (sinus lavage) to physically flush out the infection and break the cycle. On the day of the procedure, performed under general anesthesia, Vivaan was anxious but hopeful. He woke up with significant nasal congestion and some bloody discharge, which was expected. Over the next week, as he irrigated his nose with saline, the congestion cleared dramatically. The facial pressure vanished, and his sense of smell began to return. Emotionally, Vivaan had grown frustrated and withdrawn, feeling his vibrant life was on hold. After the procedure, he felt a profound sense of relief and liberation, eagerly planning his return to hiking and social gatherings without the constant burden of sinus pain.
