What was the diagnosis? Do you have a sinus infection? I would assume so as you mention pain above the eyes (you don’t say exactly where so I can’t determine if ethmoid or frontal.
What did the scopes show? Were they those old metal ones or the modern fiber optic endoscopes?
Did you have a ct scan or mri done?
Antibiotics and “sprays”…..what kind of sprays? Am I correct in assuming fluticasone etc rather than oxymetazoline?
I’ve been through the ENT merry-go-round more than once and rather than looking for the root cause and addressing that, I placed too much faith in ENTs. 2 surgeries later, I now have empty nose syndrome.
Go see a functional practitioner before any kind of surgery. They might seem “hokey” for those who only know allopathic medicine (which definitely has its time and place), but they will work with you to figure out the why. Then, you can work on that.
As far as different sprays etc. nothing has been mentioned above that I haven’t already tried. There are many other options both spray and rinse. I prefer rinsing with a Neil-med type bottle as sprays don’t get into the sinuses well enough. They (sprays) are ok for management if you have chronic issues or if you feel something coming on, but at the later stage (full blown infection) it’ll feel like it’s helping but any improvement will fizzle out.
One thing to address, if it is an infection and has been going on for some time, is biofilms.
