Sinusitis problem
I had my XPns done and shows mild haziness in bilateral maxillary sinuses. I dont have any symptom other than light nose blockage ,dry mouth and mild swelling in the jaw.( which is not even noticable but i can feel it) I am taking the medicines prescribed by the doctor but mild swelling and light nose blockage is still there. Dry mouth is somewhat fine now. I am taking steam two times a day and doing nasal irrigation.
Is it acute sinusitis or chronic . do i need to worry ? How many days it will take to heal the inflammation in the sinuses?
Pls suggest.

U don't need to worry. A CT PNS would be better than XRay. XRay is often misinterpreted. It seems to be Chronic Sinusitis.
