Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
According to X-ray report,Your left maxillary sinus is hazy with deviated nasal septum(DNS).
Haziness of sinus may be due to many reasons like chronic sinusitis,polyp etc.
CT scan of PNS(Para nasal sinus)should be done for proper estimation and involvement of other sinuses because all of the sinuses are not visualized in X-ray.
DNS may need surgical correction if it is contributing to your problem.
You should also contact ENT specialist.
Hope i have answered your query.
Take Care
