Decongestion: A sinus is opacified on a ct scan due to either fluid or soft tissue. This can be due to either an acute infection or chronic infection. The treatment of an acute infection begins with antibiotics and decongestants. A chronic infection is treated also with a prolonged period of antibiotics and nasal steroids. Occasionally oral steroids also. If this does not improve it, surgery can be performed.
