Hello, sometimes we see patients referred to us who have an opacification of a sinus, multiple sinuses or even all the sinuses. Our challenge is what to do especially when the patients feel fine. We often times will want to operate to get a biopsy for proper evaluation. Most often it’s related to benign nasal polyps. Consider saline sinus rinse then use Flonase. See your ENT for full evaluation
