Patient's question:
I am 33 years old this year and work as a radio host. Recently, my throat feels stuffy and painful. However, the pain doesn't follow any pattern. I always feel thirsty, and the facial nerves are also very painful. After a careful examination, it was determined to be sinusitis. Is the treatment for sinusitis medication or surgery?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, if the maxillary sinusitis is examined carefully with sinus CT, and the inflammation symptoms are mild without affecting the normal drainage of the sinus opening, then medication is recommended, which can lead to recovery. If the symptoms of maxillary sinusitis are severe and the anatomical structure is abnormal, obstructing the maxillary sinus opening, then surgery must be performed to open the maxillary sinus opening for drainage, which helps in the complete recovery of sinusitis. It is necessary to analyze the specific problem based on the examination results.
