Chronic sinus problems lasting for three years, especially after surgery for a deviated nasal septum, can cause persistent facial pain, headaches, ear discomfort, and even dental pain. These symptoms may indicate chronic sinusitis, sinus inflammation, or nerve involvement. Since sinus issues can affect oxygen levels and trigger headaches, they can also contribute to difficulty concentrating and anxiety. Factors like allergies, nasal polyps, or lingering infections might be worsening the condition. A sinus CT scan or endoscopic evaluation by an ENT specialist could help identify any underlying issues that need further treatment. Managing chronic sinus pain requires a combination of medical treatment and lifestyle changes. Nasal saline irrigation, steam inhalation, antihistamines, and prescribed nasal sprays can reduce inflammation and improve airflow. If bacterial infection is suspected, antibiotics may be needed. Given the impact on anxiety, relaxation techniques like deep breathing and mindfulness could help reduce stress linked to chronic discomfort. If symptoms persist despite treatment, further evaluation, including neurological or dental assessment, may be necessary to rule out nerve-related pain or TMJ disorders contributing to facial discomfort.
