Hi XXXX
Thanks for your query at HCM!
I am Dr. Sheetal Verma an Infectious Disease Specialist answering to your query!
I went through your query and understand your concern.
The complications from
sinusitis cn be orbital, intracranial, and bone. Complications from sinus infections are relatively rare. However, when complications occur they can be serious. As you are complaining of visual disturbance it could be orbital complications of sinusitis which most common type, and often occur with swelling of the eyelids, bulging eyes, impaired eye movement, and vision symptoms such as
double vision (
diplopia)Treatment involves 24 to 48 hours of IV antibiotics. If the
abscess remains on
CT scan after treatment, surgical exploration of the orbital area and
drainage of the
sinuses and abscess are often necessary.
Immediately visit your health care provider who may recommend a CT scan and/or referral to an otolaryngologist, also called an ENT or ear, nose, and throat specialist. It is good you have got the cultures sent you can start appropriate antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your question. If you would like some more information I will be happy to provide. You can take a follow-up query. . You can also write a review for me. Wish you good health
Take care! Wish you best of Health.
