Does a near complete opacifcation of the sphenoid sinus in your mri, warrant an ed visit or can it wait for a md office visit?

Dr. Sewa Legha answered

Only if True Emergen: Sinus can be opacified yet not cause any serious symptoms. Unless you have high fever and or severe headache, you can wait to see your own doctor in his /her office. ER is a bad place to go unless you are getting into a bad shape yourself.
