Hey a CT scan is done to find out where exactly the problem lies. it can be in ur frontal, maxillary or ethmoidal sinuses. usually sinusitis results from the incomplete draining of these sinuses. the accumulated secretions cause growth of bacteria.
The scan will tell the doctors how best to drain the sinuses and give u relief. After finding what the problem is they may drain it manually which will give u instant relief or give very effective meds which clear it out.
Dont worry

I found a natural way to relieve chronic sinus pain and stuffiness. A friend of mine told me about a neti pot. You use it to rinse your sinus cavity with luke warm saline water. It has given me relief from the watery eyes and the pain. I think it works because it flushes all the stuff that you breathe in and that stays attached to the fine hair in you nasal cavity. You can find a neti pot at most health food stores . You will know you have found it if you get it and it looks like Aladdin's lamp. Google the words" neti pot" they have a web site.

I too have sinus problems. The only way you'll get rid of the problems is if you have surgery. that's what I was told. I haven't done it because I've heard mixed stories about having it done. Check with your doctor.

Some of these sinus medications can make things worse. Do you have any idea of what you are allergic to?
