Suggest Treatment For Chronic Sinusitis
Question: In 2010 a dentist drilled a, inplant into my sinus causing a cronic infection that nothing has cured. Last July got a small cyst on right shoulder bone that lasted a few weeks and went away. It came back much larger (egg size) after about 4-5 months it went away. Thought the castor oil shrank it. Six weeks later in ONE day it came back about 1 1/2 inch long 3/4 inch high the lump came back, then doubled to almost a circle an inch high on the top of my shoulder bone. Could it be a swollen limp node? Is that sinus infection the cause of these lumps? What causes them to go and then return?
Have ordered some herbs to fight infection and clear the limp nodes. Hope this works.
Wanted to ask your advice for a cure, when all I wrote went up, then this window went white so guess it was sent to you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Chronic sinusitis acts like a focus of infection in the body and hence may cause lymph node swelling.
2. Get a plain Sinus CT Scan and a Neck Ultrasound done. An FNAC (Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology) Study of the cyst/lymph node will shed light on the nature of the recurrent swelling. Routine blood tests are advised.
3. Any attempt to cure these conditions has to include the above investigations. Kindly upload the images and reports to discuss further treatment options.
Hope, I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Regards.
