Question

Answer 1

Need more info: The presence of a density in the frontal sinus on a cat scan may be insignificant. We need more information on the size of the density, whether or not you have symptoms of pain, fullness or pressure in that area of the head. A radiologist may see a density of a few mm. Which is insignificant. Tell us more about the specifics of this density and your symptoms.

Answer 3

Especially Sjogren's: Sjogren can cause systemic dryness and in the mouth dryness can cause dental problems.

Answer 4

Yes: A connective tissue disorder can effect the periodontal health of your teeth. The periodontium is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports your teeth.

What are all these things made of...Connective tissue.

Answer 5

Yes: This is especially true of sjogren's syndrome which causes a dry mouth and thereby increases the risks of tooth decay and gum disease.

Answer 6

Not really: Vascular eds does not affect the lungs, the confusion may be caused by the fact that medicines used to treat eds like viagra (sildenafil) work by dilating blood vessels to improve blood flow to the penis. Some patients with lung disease have a problem called pulmonary hypertension, and benefit from the same drugs, only in this case the blood vessels dilating effect involves the circulation in the lungs.

Answer 7

Unlikely: Unless the hemorrhoid gets grossly infected and remains untreated, death of surrounding tissue is very rare.

Answer 8

Not likely: If they get large and prolapse they can be very painful and lead to issues like tissue death. But for most they are a bother. See a surgeon who specializes in them and discuss.

Answer 9

Hot moist towels: Again, anything that increases your circulation will speed up and increase healing. Use hot most towels over the face to increase the circulation. Although this sounds a bit to the contrary, using a spray decongestant such as afrin, neo-synephrine, 4-way, or Vicks for a few days can constrict the swollen vessels in the mucous membranes of the nasal cavity and sinus openings and give relief.

Answer 10

Various: Could consider oral decongestants like sudafed, nasal spray decongestants like oxymetazoline, nasal saline sprays or rinses. Each of these treatments have instructions and warnings that need to be read and heeded.

Answer 11

First, diagnosis: Sinus congestion is not as easy to diagnose by the patient as one might think. You may really have nasal congestion. And most causes of nasal congestion are viral infections. Therefore, it is very likely that the overall symptoms of a viral infection may lead to a decrease in appetite. The course of these infections is 7-10 days. If longer, consult you physician.
