Sinusitis Treatment in India

Pari Verma, a 32-year-old high school teacher, had struggled with chronic sinus issues since her teenage years. Her symptoms, persistent facial pressure, thick yellow nasal discharge, and debilitating headaches, worsened every allergy season and after every cold. Over-the-counter decongestants provided only temporary relief, and she was constantly fatigued, her voice often nasal. After a CT scan confirmed severe inflammation and blockage in her ethmoid and maxillary sinuses, her ENT doctor, Dr. Sharma, recommended Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to open the blocked drainage pathways. Pari was anxious about surgery but desperate for relief. The procedure itself was under general anesthesia and she felt no pain. The first 48 hours of recovery were uncomfortable, with nasal packing and congestion, but the pressure headache was gone. Within a week, as swelling subsided, she could breathe freely through her nose for the first time in years. Emotionally, she transitioned from feeling chronically unwell and frustrated, missing school days, to feeling liberated and energetic. She no longer plans her life around her sinus pain and has regained a sense of normalcy.
