Are my sinus CT findings concerning? Maxillary cysts?

Patient's Query

CT PNS Findings: - Mucus retention cysts in the left maxillary sinus (14x12mm). No bone erosion. - Mucosal thickening in ethmoid sinuses. Mild DNS (deviated nasal septum) towards the right side. - Cribriform plates of ethmoid and bilateral osteomeatal complexes are normal. - Mastoids are pneumatized. - Orbit and retro-orbital spaces are normal. - No bone lesion seen. Impression: - Left Maxillary sinus mucus retention cysts. - Mild ethmoid sinusitis.

Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor

After looking at your CT scan results, it seems like you've got a mucus retention cyst in your left maxillary sinus and some mild inflammation in your ethmoid sinuses. These things can happen when your sinuses get a bit blocked, causing mucus to build up and form cysts. It's quite common, nothing to worry too much about. To help ease the symptoms, you can try using a saline nasal spray to keep things clear. If you're having trouble with congestion or pain, over-the-counter decongestants or pain relievers can be helpful. It might be a good idea to follow up with your orthopedist just to keep an eye on things and see if any further treatment is needed.

I am suffering from sinus problem and najal allergy since my childhood

Female | 20

Sinus issues are the usual culprits for stuffy or runny noses, headaches, and pressure around your eyes and nose. Nasal allergies occur when one's immune system reacts even to innocent substances like pollen or dust. The best way to manage this is by avoiding the triggers such as dust, using air filters, and taking allergy medications.

I accidentally drink lizoil through the nose and my nose is burning

Female | 16

When a situation like this arises, your nose can easily get very sensitive and even start to hurt. It can be that you may also find yourself sneezing or coughing a lot. To help with this, first, gently blow your nose to get rid of any leftover oil and then rinse your nose with cool water.

HI MY ON NOSE DEVIATED AND RESULTS HEAVY SNORING

Male | 35

This often hampers the airway passage because loud breathing comes out only during sleep. Main causes are anatomical differentiations, allergies, or chronic congestion. Use saline nasal sprays or allergy medications, and notice the changes in your condition. If the problem persists, you should be advised to have a check-up with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive assessment and talk about options such as nasal surgeries or other treatments.

After a week I started tk have a sore throat again. Now my right side of my mount is droopy. What vould be wrong ?

Female | 21

Sounds like the previous infection has not cleared completely or there is a second viral infection that has come on. We also need to see why the frequency is so high despite medications. Kindly visit an ENT surgeon.

If you have a crooked nose due to an injury, it's important to consult with an ENT specialist or a plastic surgeon. They can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best treatment options, which may include surgery. It's always best to visit a specialist for proper care and advice.

I have been dealing with increasing ear pain for 2 days, and I am deadly afraid that something is lodged inside. I have pain in my jaw when I attempt to eat solid food, this did not start until after my ear started as well.

Male | 22

Are you possibly interested in the problem with your ear and the pain in your jaw? These various symptoms include ear infections, fluid buildup, and the possible jaw joint problems, among others. Although the sensation of having something stuck can be disconcerting, it is advisable not to play a doctor and communicate with the doctor. I suggest making an appointment with your healthcare provider in order to be assessed. Their examination will reveal the exact problem you might be suffering from, they will solve your worries and offer the right type of treatment.

Good evening,,i have alot of mucus even while am not sick,which medicine should i use to stop mucus

Female | 22

Dealing with e­xcess mucus without illness fee­ls very bothersome. The­ mucus might happen due to allergie­s, irritants, or weather changes. An ove­r-the-counter saline nasal spray he­lps. It thins mucus, so you clear your nose easie­r. But read instructions carefully on medication labe­ls.

My son 12 + suffering from tonsils last ten days .... antibiotics also given to him but he is allergic with Amoxicillin, ...He treated from bl Kapoor, with pcm, attarax & avil, cepodem 200mg....He feel pain in ears because of tonsils what medicine should give.... please reply fast

Male | 12

I understand your concern about your son's adenotonsils and ear infection. The tonsils could be causing his ear pain since they are close by in the throat. To help with the pain, you can give him acetaminophen (PCM). Make sure he continues the prescribed medications, drinks plenty of fluids, gets enough rest, and eats soft, cool foods to soothe his throat. If his symptoms don’t improve or worsen, please see the doctor again for further tests.

Why do u loose your voice for no reason

Female | 52

When you lose­ your voice without any clear reason, it's calle­d laryngitis. Your vocal cords swell up, making you hoarse or quiet. This happe­ns due to loud talking, singing, or catching a cold. To recover quickly, avoid talking much, sip warm drinks ofte­n, and inhale steam. Within a wee­k, your voice should return to normal.
