I've been experiencing a dry cough whenever I talk and sometimes even when I'm just breathing. I usually deal with sinus issues, but I haven't had any recent cold or fever. Should I be concerned about this cough, and do you think it might be linked to my sinus problem? What could be causing this, and how can I find some relief?

I've been dealing with recurrent sinusitis for a year now, with nasal blockage and fever, but it's gotten worse over the last 4 months. I wake up with snoring, a blocked nose, and yellow discharge, plus constant low-grade fever. I had nose surgery 3 years ago for a bone growth causing obstruction, which helped a little back then. I've tried antibiotics, steroids, homeopathy, and ayurveda, but nothing has fully fixed it. A recent X-ray showed bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy and maxillary sinusitis. What's the best solution to stop the blockages and prevent this from coming back?

Given the persistence and worsening of your sinusitis symptoms, including snoring, nasal blockage, yellow discharge, and low-grade fever, it's crucial to seek medical attention. A doctor or ENT specialist can properly diagnose the cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment
