Precautions to Sinus 

One thing that should definitely be avoided in the sinus is using any kind of spray for opening your nose. Usually, many family members may think that it may relieve your blocked nose and hence use of nasal spray, but this will only aggravate your problem instead of solving it. 

Sinus correction is though not a major surgery and sinus operation cost in India is not very high due to the latest techniques used now, the surgery is very safe. The name of the surgery is called FESS(Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery), this is a minimally invasive procedure wherein the sinus cavity is opened using balloon sinuplasty and the pus from the sinus cavity is drained out. Sinus operation cost in India starts from Rs. 26,000 and goes up to Rs. 70,000 depending on the hospital and your city.
