I'm really struggling with sinus issues and just wanted some advice. For the past couple of months, I've been having this pain on the left side of my forehead that goes down to my nose. There's also this yellowish, smelly discharge that keeps coming from the left side of my nose. I just had a CTPNS done and it showed moderate mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, causing about 70 to 80% of air space to opacify, and it's reaching into the middle meatus through the maxillary ostium. There's also some moderate thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mild thickening in the bilateral frontal sphenoid sinuses. I've got bilateral concha bullosa with secondary mucosal thickening too. I've been on medication for the past 15 days things like Augmentin 625, Allegra M, Defza 6mg, Ezicas nasal spray, and Enzoflam. They help for a bit, but after 7 to 8 hours, the symptoms just come back. What do you suggest I do now?

Its essential to complete the prescribed medication course, as it can help reduce inflammation and infection and if youre not experiencing lasting relief after 2 weeks of consistent medication.If medications are not resolving the issue, consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation.

I'm a bit confused and worried about the results from my recent CT scan. It mentioned complete opacification of the left maxillary antrum and polypoid thickening on the right side. Could you help me understand what this means?

I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with a sore throat that just won't go away. It's been hard to swallow and it feels like it's below the tonsils, around the throat wall under the palatopharyngeal arch. I can't usually see anything unless I look really closely. It's been a month now, and I'm getting pretty scared. What could this be?
Based on your description of a sore throat with mild swallowing difficulty located below the tonsils and below the palatopharyngeal arch, it may be due to a throat infection. I recommend taking an antibiotic like Amoxicillin (brand name: Amoxil) 500mg three times a day for 7-10 days to treat the infection. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges containing Benzocaine to help relieve the soreness. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
