Question

My PNS CT scan shows mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses, right sphenoid, both ethmoid sinuses, and a little in the left frontal sinus. I've had headaches for the past two months do I need surgery for this?

Sinus mucosal thickening on CT and recurrent headaches may be treated with steroids and antibiotics;functional endoscopic sinus surgery is recommended if medical therapy fails.

My daughter is 6 years old and she has adenoids. The main issue we're seeing is that she really snores a lot at night. To try and avoid surgery, someone mentioned that we could use metaspray and give her Montair LC at night. I'm really curious about whether that's a good idea or not. Any advice would be great!
