A member asked:
Can please help my husband, because he has a small mucus retention cyst or polyp in the right frontal sinus? what does he do? thank you!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Observation: If he is otherwise healthy, I won't worry too much about a retention cyst. But if he does have recurrent infection in that sinus, surgery may be necessary.
