A member asked:
Severe mucosal thickening present involving left frontal sinus, left anterior ethmoid air cells' plus other infect.,do i need surgery or antibiotics?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: some will recommend surgery for recurrent sinus infection before trying less invasive solutions. you describe findings from a ct scan, but these describe inflammation of the sinus mucosa and infection is but one potential cause. Infections should be treated (sometimes with antibiotics), but the inflammation or anything predisposing the sinus to becoming infected/inflamed should be addressed
