A complete blockage of your right nasal sinus with occasional blood in your phlegm may require evaluation by an ENT specialist. Surgery might be needed if medicines or other treatments don't relieve the blockage or if there is a risk of infection or other complications.

  1. Specialist to Consult

    • Consult an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctor or otolaryngologist for sinus issues and related symptoms.

  2. Importance of Evaluation

    • A thorough clinical evaluation, including history, physical examination, and MRI review, is essential to understand the cause of sinus blockage and blood in phlegm.

  3. Possible Causes and Concerns

    • Potential causes include chronic sinusitis, nasal polyps, infections, or other conditions causing blockage and bleeding.

  4. Diagnostic Tests

    • Additional tests like nasal endoscopy, CT scan of sinuses, or lab tests may be needed to identify infection or other pathology.

  5. Treatment Options

    • Non-surgical treatments include medications such as antibiotics, nasal steroids, and decongestants. Surgery might be considered if medical treatment fails or if there is a structural problem.

  6. Surgery Considerations

    • Surgery is usually considered if medical treatment fails or if there is a structural problem causing blockage; the decision depends on detailed evaluation.

  7. Importance of Prompt Medical Attention

    • Consult the specialist promptly due to the presence of blood in phlegm, which requires careful assessment to rule out serious conditions.

  8. Relevant Medical Specialties

    • ENT specialist (Otolaryngologist)
    • Possibly Pulmonologist if lung involvement is suspected.
