I just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?

View allI'm dealing with a dry nose and mouth after recovering from Covid-19. I'm drinking about 3 liters of water every day, but the issue still persists, especially at night. I'm also taking a 0.5 mg anxit tablet for anxiety. What else can I do to get some relief?
In addition to staying hydrated, you can try using a saline nasal spray for your dry nose. Also, consider using a humidifier in your room at night to help with the dryness. If the symptoms persist, you can consult with your doctor about using a medication like pilocarpine (Salagen) to stimulate saliva production.
