A chronic sinus problem can sometimes cause a dry cough due to post-nasal drip, throat irritation, or ongoing inflammation, but surgery does not guarantee complete relief in every person. The success of Sinus Surgery depends on the exact cause of the cough, severity of sinus disease, allergies, asthma, reflux, and CT scan findings. Many patients improve after surgery if the cough is truly linked to chronic sinus blockage, but some continue to have symptoms from other causes. Before surgery, it is reasonable to seek a second opinion from another ENT specialist and discuss: Nasal steroid sprays, Allergy treatment, Saline nasal rinses/steam inhalation, Evaluation for asthma or acid reflux, CT scan review and nasal endoscopy, If symptoms persist despite proper medical treatment, surgery may then be considered more confidently.

Flutivin Nasal Spray can be used in an 11‑year‑old if prescribed by a doctor. The exact dose, frequency, and duration should be decided by the clinician based on the child’s medical need and condition. During treatment, the child should be monitored for any possible side effects to ensure safety.
