Sinus problem
Hello,
My mother recently diagnosed with Sinus problem. Doctors gave medicines and she is bit relived. Doctor also suggested that there might be a requirement of cleaning the scum through some vacuum machine.
Would be of great help if someone can let me know if we should go with that and are there any repercussions considering her age or we should rely on medicines for now?

If you had acute sinusitis and is relived after taking medications then there is no need for any further procedure. If your symptoms are recurrent and persistent then it may be required
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
