How Can Sinusitis And Post Nasal Discharge Be Treated?

I had a pet scan and MRI for cancer detection and this showed up as a comment: Additional comment: Mild mucosal thickening of the bilateral maxillary sinuses. I have had sinus problems...stuffy nose, drainage...causing throat coughing. This seemed to start after a winter cold...and ENT I went to gave me a hearing test and said to keep putting a spray up my nose which had not given me any relief. What are the treatment choices?

Hello,

There is salient management guidance for you as there sounds to be allergic congestion with a respiratory infection.

- discuss the need of additional flu shot with your doc
- get basic lab tests of complete blood counts and X-ray chest done
- deep breathing exercise
- inhalation of vapours of boiled water added peppermint oil
- avoid exposure to noxious substances
- prescription of decongestant, antibiotic, antiviral, oral steroids will help greatly to move faster recovery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
