What Does This CT Scan Report Mean?

I recently had a ct scan done because of migraines but I also have had a septoplasty done in 2013. I read in the sinuses part : partial opacification of a left anterior ethmoid air cell.. I was wanting to know should I be worried? I am due for another CT scan soon per my ENT Dr when he gets back from vacation because of all the pain I have been having by my forehead & above my nose.

1. The inference which I can conclude from the report is of: Ethmoid sinusitis and since there is history of septoplasty which is one of the cause of chronic obstruction and resultant infection [chronic sinusitis]

2. You may start incorporating following management schedule in your daily regime:

. Avoid: heavy, slimy and acidic food, curd, mustard oil, excess physical exertion, sunlight-dust areas, exposure to strong winds, day sleeping, smoking, potato, green leafy vegetables. Cold water/food

. Take: Old brown rice, soup of moong dal, black grapes, cow’s or goat milk, garlic, lukewarm water to drink, black pepper, dried ginger, honey, mulethi, launga

. Take Raw ginger+ raw turmeric: [2 gm each] and fry in cow’s ghee [6 gm] and thereafter add 6 gm jaggery and take at bed time [during night]

. In Ayurveda we hold that nose is the gateway to head, thus start practicing NASYA [errhine therapy], after consulting/guidance of an Ayurveda physician [with shadbindu tail]

. take high protein diet ( egg (white), soyamilk, pumpkin, squash, watermelon, peanuts, almonds, if non-vegetarian (meat) are choices , legumes, sprouted pulses/cereals, milk with protein powder [since blockage of nose is an issue thus yogurt and beans are not recommended] and deep breathing Exercises [anulom vilom]
