Patient's question:
Good ethmoidal aeration, the left maxillary sinus cavity is smaller, increased density, thickened mucosa, no other obvious abnormalities. During a cold.Doctor's answer:
The maxillary sinus is located within the maxilla bone on both sides of the nasal wings, adjacent to the orbit above and below the maxillary teeth 3-5. The roots of the teeth grow inside the maxillary sinus cavity. The main cause of maxillary sinusitis is secondary to colds, upper respiratory infections, and odontogenic infections. The primary symptoms of maxillary sinusitis are nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge. The purulent nasal discharge from sinusitis often has the characteristic of being difficult to blow out. Some patients experience frontal headaches (between the eyebrows), which are dull and gradually worsen after 10 a.m. Others may experience maxillary tooth pain, which is due to the impact on the relationship of the tooth roots.Recommendation:
Currently, sinus surgery is performed using an endoscope, which is very convenient and causes minimal trauma. The procedure is generally painless, with only mild discomfort in some cases. In terms of pricing, it varies depending on the hospital's level and standards. Since your CT scan shows so many issues, you should undergo surgery as soon as possible, as it will significantly affect your future life and work.
Lastly, the surgical outcome for deviated nasal septum is relatively good. Other sinus surgeries may have a risk of recurrence, depending on individual constitution. Some people may experience recurrence within two to three years, while others may not for ten or more years. Some may never recur. Currently, science can only rely on surgical treatment. I hope you recover soon!!!
