Hi Dr. Kumar! You Were So Kind And Reassuring In
The cyst and mucosal thickening cannot cause teeth pain
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for having trust in me, I’ll try my best to help you with this query.
I have gone through the CT scan report thoroughly and these are my findings.
1. There is mucosal thickening in the sphenoidal sinus and a small fluid filled sac in the ethmoidal sinus. These are quite harmless and not the reason for your pain in the upper teeth and ears.
2. I agree with your dentist that the cause of pain could be due to spasm of the muscles surrounding the temporal mandibular joint.
3. The second finding, swelling in the nasal septum and the adjacent nasal vestibule could be either a wart or a papilloma. I cannot comment on this unless seen physically. Even if this swelling turns out to be an inverted papilloma the chances of it becoming a cancer is very remote. Hence, you should not worry about this.
4. If you could send me a snapshot of the same, I will be able to help you in a better way.
Hope this answers your query; I’ll be available for the follow up queries.

The lesion in the nose is definitely not transferred from the foot.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back.
I can understand the amount of apprehension and the stress you are undergoing. I will try my best to help you.
1. I am sorry, I could not appreciate the nasal lesion in the image you have sent. If your doctor strongly feels that the lesion has to be removed and sent for examination, then, it would be wiser to get it excised and examined. The reason, if it is a simple wart/inverted papilloma, then, excision of the same would clear the lesion in both the situations and the accurate diagnosis would be established.
2. As I had mentioned in my earlier response, the inverted papilloma appearing in the region of the nasal septum or the nasal vestibule is harmless and the chances of the same turning out to become malignant are almost nil.
3. There are various strains of HPV which could cause infections in the human body. Those strains of HPV which cause warts are of mild in nature. These warts can appear anywhere in the body. But, the lesion in the nose is definitely not transferred from the foot.
Hope this clarifies your doubts. I wish you good health.
