Brief Answer:
Upload CT PNS mages and previous prescriptions.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query.

1. Upload CT PNS (Paranasal Sinuses) images for an accurate assessment.

2. Details of previous treatment are required. Have you used nasal sprays?

3. Have you allergy tests been done?

4. These are common symptoms. The swelling should subside after the sinusitis is controlled.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for following up. I've checked the reports...

1. The CT images show a very mild right maxillary sinusitis. This will settle down with medication and allergy control.

2. Nasal septum is central which is good.

3. Swelling on the face will also settle down with medication.

4. Have you or are you using any nasal spray?
Kindly let me know the test results are available so that I can prescribe further medications.

I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be available to answer them.

Regards

I have used nasal sprays and medications but swelling is not going away. What should i do? Why is it taking so much time when the infection is mild.

Details as discussed below:

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

1. As explained earlier, your allergy tests are important.

2. Sinusitis in some patients causes a mild swelling or many times there is a sensation of swelling, heaviness or numbness as the sensory nerves supplying the cheek skin pass through theae sinuses. Usually the patient complains of swelling while no swelling is apparent.

3. Which nasal sprays and medications have been used?
