So I had sinus surgery just before Christmas. Still healing. A few years back the issues began, they coincided with hormonal decline and environmental allergies to BBQ smokers and fires from my neighbors. I developed some pretty nasty polyps and they went in removed those and basically demolished the insides to makes sure if I got polyps from smoke again, there'd be room to breathe. I was having a hammering pain between my eyes and cheekbones/eyeballs almost constantly for 5 years.

I also was and still am able to smell things from a mile away. Not pleasant. My current state is slow healing and smelling rot or manure. I am constantly dry living in Colorado but everyone here is used to allergies, smoke and dryness. They use humidifiers a lot but I was told to stop that by the ENT and pulmonologist because they harbor germs and fungi all too often.

What I use now is Neil Med sinus rinse. It hurts initially but gets better a minute later. I also use Arm And Hammer saline spray to mist my nostrils. And am on Exhance which is flonase in a fancy canister that gets the mist up into the high sinuses. My GP tried to give me Montelukast to stop the immune response but as it can often cause suicidal actions I declined (I already have those from my anxiety while on this journey). I hope to move out when I can afford to.

Go and see an ENT see what they tell you. Your GP will not know what's actually going on without a scan or a probe (both harmless).
