Question 5

Tingly facial skin left side, sinus symptom?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis typically causes pressure or pain to the face.  The trigeminal nerve gives sensation to the skin itself, with tingly sensation typically arising from dysfunction of this nerve.  I would consult with your physician for this problem.

Question 6

Left costophrenic sinus is blunted. ctr is 0.5165. pleurodiaphragmatic reaction?

Accepted Answer

this blunting was found on a chest x-ray.  Why was x-ray done?  Do you have symptoms?  What are they?  A CTR over .5 suggests an enlarged cardiac silhouette but is overestimated with a pleural effusion which could cause blunting of the costophrenic angle.  i assume you received this info from your doctor so best to get your advice from him/her.

Question 7

I have a recurring infection in my left maxiliary sinus. the infection comes back regularly. what can i do?

You need to see the specialist who deals with rhinosinusitis and that would be an otolaryngologist. You also want to make sure that your teeth are in good condition and that there is no dental issue in the left upper jaw area because that can commonly causes sinus problems, as well.

Question 8

Have shooting headache on left side 2 times a week and pain in sinus points. take sinarest for headache. please help.

Such sharp,jabbing pains in that area are often due to neuralgia which is an irritable superficial nerve. This is more of a nuisance than anything serious and usually resolves without any specific treatment. However if symptoms persist or worsen, see your physician for evaluation.Sinus discomfort usually is more sustained and is over the eyes or cheekbones.
