What Does This CT Scan Report Indicate?
Question: Hello Doctor,
I have had a CT scan for my upper respiratory tract and it has turned out that there is
1. No sinus.
2. No polyp.
3. Mild nasal septum deviation.
4. Swollen turbinates.
I have this persistent nasal block because of the swollen turbinates and I can realise it when I do breathing exercises or any physical exercise. Else there is no much problem in breathing.
I have been prescribed Montlar for 3 weeks and nasal solution. nasoclear. I have already taken it for 2 weeks around and not sure it has helped. My doctor has suggested that this is the first line of treatment and he will proceed further after examining me after 3 weeks.
Any inputs on the same?
Regards,
XXXX
