Treat the cause: The only reason to worry about mucosal thickening would be if you were having symptoms of sinus disease. There are many causes of mucosal thickening, like allergies, infection, sinonasal polyposis, etc. If treatment were indicated, it would be best to treat the cause.

ENT: This is definitely something that should be referred to an ENT surgeon for evaluation. Surgery may or may not be needed, but an ENT can better advise.
