Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of mucosal thickening on right maxillary sinus mean which means you are suffering from condition known as chronic sinusitis. It could be due to infection in lymph nodes as well/ eustachian tube dysfunction as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take nasal decongestant sprays, Antihistamines and antibiotic combination as infection is present. Co amoxiclav is best treatment option. You should take steam inhalation , avoid bending forward and drink green tea with ginger for vertigo. Avoid intake of outside food. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Go for paranasal sinus X ray and get puncture and drainage of sinus if required. You can go for surgical reconstruction of opening after proper prescription. Do warm saline gargles.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
