What Do The Chest X-ray Findings Of Mucosal Thickening Suggest?
My father s chest x-ray shows that thin mucosal thickening in bilateral maxillary antrae. Both the primary maxillary ostia are patent. There is mild DNS with hypertrophied inferior turbinates. What does this mean? Is there anything to worry about?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the x ray report you have mentioned.
This report is absolutely normal.
Nothing to worry about infection or mass or polyp or other sinus anomaly.
Mild DNS and hypertrophied inferior turbinates can not cause much symptoms.
But if he is symptomatic like sneezing or nasal blockage etc then he will need antihistamine and decongestant. Otherwise nothing to worry about this report.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your father. Thanks.
