Hello and welcome to HCM,
The X-ray views the para-nasal sinuses and shows that the maxillary para-nasal sinuses are hazy.
Normally all sinuses should be clear.
Haziness is suggestive of infection/ inflammation.
There are different sets of para-nasal sinuses.
Maxillary sinuses are present beneath the cheeks.
Infection/ inflammation of maxillary sinuses causes pain on deep palpation of cheeks.
maxillary sinuses open into the nasal cavity so infection/ inflammation of these sinuses lead to nasal discharge.
You need to consult an ENT specialist for clinical assessment, investigations and treatment.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja Puri
