Brief Answer:
Blood filled sinus requires drainage. Consult ENT surgeon for treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As far as blood filled maxillary sinus is concerned it requires drainage that is functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Functional endosopic sinus surgery (FESS) removes blockages, allowing the sinuses to ventilate and drain.
For this i will suggest you to consult ENT surgeon with your complete investigations and go for treatment.
After Sinus treatment you can consult Dental surgeon for further treatment plan.
Hope his will help you. If you have further query i will be happy to help.
Regards

THE ENT MAN WANTS TO DO A SEPTUM SURGERY..WE ARE RELUCTANT FOR SUCH A SURGERY,,IS THERE NO OTHER WAY TO DRAIN THE SINUS?
Brief Answer:
Blockage requires drainage. Consult otolaryngologist for treatment.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As you are asking for other way to drain sinus I would like to tell you that there are two ways for treatment one is non surgical and other is surgical.
As l far as non surgical treatment is concerned that is done by Antibiotics and pain relieving medicine.
They are used to treat infection. A 7 to 10 day course of medication is usually prescribed. Longer courses may be needed for cases of chronic condition.
Surgery is recommended for cases of recurrent or chronic condition where non-surgical treatment has not been effective. It aims to improve airflow and drainage, removing obstructions.
I will suggest you to consult an specialist ear nose and throat surgeon (otolaryngologist) go for treatment.
Hope this will help you. If you have further query I will be happy to help.
