A member asked:
Does mold exposure cause maxillary sinus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mold: A mold allergy can impact sinusitis. And there can certainly be fungal infections of the sinus. But most likely mold exposure is not the real cause of the sings issue. Nonetheless, if you have symptoms, you can seek the consultation of a board certified surgeon with expertise in treating sinus issues.
