Hi,
Thank you for your query.
1. Mild sinus mucosal thickening should receive a trial of medical therapy for at least two weeks first.
2. The medication consists of an anti-histamine , an anti -leukotriene, a steroid nasal spray and steam inhalation.
3. If you can share your CT images (not the reports), I will be able to give you an accurate assessment.
4. Balloon Sinuplasty is a new option.
Regards.
