I have diagnosed with dns and have sinus infections and nasal polyps. Therefore I have problem in breathing because of blocked nose or have very deep breath or. Breath from mouth at some time. Doctor recommended me to take steam and montair lc for 10 days but now it is also not helping. Earlier also medicines are not helpful for long term. I am also doing neti kriya with the help of a squeeze bottle (naso wash) with salt water. Earlier steam and naso wash provide me some relief but now it's not. please Help me in my condition as no medicines help me in long term they works for maximum of a week. I don't want to go for a operation. please provide some remedies which I can take at home. Also please provide some diet and food which I have to avoid for allergic reactions. Also can I use air humidifier or air purifier, can it help in my condition. As my condition get worse in summers and monsoon season. In winters also my nose is blocked.

The nasal blockage is sometimes due to gross DNS, and this is a mechanical obstruction due to air passage become narrow causing difficulties in breathing , gradually to cope up with the oxygen demand mouth breathing starts , in that condition medicines not gonna help much, we need to go for surgery that time to make the passage normal and patent. Medicines are usually antiallergic hence only helpful if there is associated allergy . Thanks

Surgery is the best recourse for nasal polyposis. However, you may try anti-allergic nasal sprays like duonase twice daly, 1st dose when you get up from bed at morning and the 2nd dose 12 hours after 1st dose. Apply it on sitting position and gently blow your nose before application.

The only remedy I can suggest you is to undergo surgery.The reason why I am recommending this is 1) DNS is a mechanical obstruction which can not be cured with medicines. 2) Nasal polyps are on account of an allergy which has to be removed if you have to get any relief in your symptoms. 3) Sinus infection is on account of the DNS & the polyps. Septoplasty for DNS correction along with FESS for sinus infection and polyps will cure you of your problem.You will feel a lot better. The above mentioned surgeries are done in one sitting. Medicines will not help.
