You seem to be suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis which is common type of nose and sinus infection. You may need to undergo diagnostic nasal endoscopy and CT scan of paranasal sinuses to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment can be planned once diagnosis is confirmed
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
