Suggest Treatment For Silent Sinus Syndrome

Hello,
Do a CT scan of the paranasal sinus for all the three sections. Do a diagnostic nasal endoscopy and see the maxillary sinuses. We have to know the cause.
Maxillary sinus optimum should be widened. For this, you will need a surgery along with a postoperative nasal spray and steam inhalation. Take calcium tablet and vitamin tablet daily.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
