Question 1

how do you treat frontal sinus hypoplasia?

Accepted Answer

Frontal sinus: Frontal sinus hypoplasia is a description of the sinus anatomy. It indicates a limited development of a frontal sinus. By itself, it does not indicate any disease and may not require any treatment. If you have symptoms of sinus disease, you should see an otolaryngologist.

Question 2

why does my frontal sinus feel really clogged?

Accepted Answer

Probably sinusitis: The feeling of "clogged" sinuses is almost always an indication of sinusitis.  As the hollow sinuses fill with fluid, it produces pressure on the walls which leads to that sensation. If you have symptoms of infection, an antibiotic can help. If you have allergies, an antihistamine and decongestant may reduce swelling and allow drainage. Consider a HealthTap Concierge visit for evaluation.

Question 3

my frontal sinus feels really clogged. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Need diagnosis: You can not expect treatment unless you truly have a diagnosis of frontal sinusitis.  The area above your eyes may not necessarily be your sinuses.  The only scientific method of proving that you have a "clogging" of your frontal sinus is a cat scan of the sinuses.  See an ENT doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my frontal sinus feels really clogged?

Accepted Answer

Blocked frontals: Hello. My recommendations are to use a saline wash to remove thickened mucus from your nose. Then use Afrin nasal spray. After spraying, tilt your head back and hang off the edge of your bed. You will feel the medication move towards the frontal sinus opening. Remain in this position for a few minutes. Do this twice daily but no longer than 5 days. This usually does the trick.

Forehead sinus: Frontal sinuses are two sinuses in your forehead just above the eyes.

Question 7

soft tissue density is seen at the frontal sinus. what does this indicate?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: The presence of a density in the frontal sinus on a cat scan may be insignificant.  We need more information on the size of the density, whether or not you have symptoms of pain, fullness or pressure in that area of the head.  A radiologist may see a density  of a few mm. Which is insignificant.  Tell us more about the specifics of this density and your symptoms.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily....: If it is not obstructing the ostium, or openning into the nose, it may not need to be removed. Best to consult with yourn otolaryngologist/.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Hypoplastic sinus: It just means that your sinus is small.  It usually does not cause a problem.

Question 10

Shouldn't be: The nostrils may be sore from the access but, the sinus, itself, doesn't have the kind of pain receptors you're thinking about.  You shouldn't really have much discomfort after the surgery.
