Sinus surgery an option for swollen sinus lining/mucus membrane, but clear sinuses? have sticky mucus and pnd. no luck with allergy meds or steroids!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More detailed: It is said that the thickness of the sinus lining >6 mm suggests infection. With the limited info , I would get a second opinion o this issue
