Maxillary Sinus Tumor and Facial Burning

Have you worked with someone to address rhino/sinusitis which is not “infection”. Typically this requires continuous topical steroid treatment ongoing.
Most people feel better due to the antibiotic anti inflammatory properties.
If you have allergies and or some type of ongoing nasal/sinus inflammation some people are prescribed Dupixent which works great.
While I can’t speak to tumor removal, that sounds difficult.
Can you help me understand, how the ENT determined the tumor needed to be removed? And where was it located. Was this Neuro in agreement. I ask because MRIs are far different than CT and can show hyper intensity of everything. Most ENTs do not use MRI for diagnosing conditions.
Unfortunately pain/brining from the neck up is often complex and multifactorial. Wish I could be of more help, but unfortunately I am not a fan of ENT surgeons or “most” of their practice.

Yes, I have seen someone. I take 2 different antihistamine and use Budesonide in my nasal wash, along with the various nose sprays I’ve been prescribed. Even after all of that it still happens.
As for the tumor: Upon going to the ENT, he did a CT scan to see whatever the neurologist had previously identified on the MRI. The tumor was attached to my jaw bone and the roots from my teeth are apparently extra long and were somehow involved. It sat just above top left front teeth in the sinus cavity where some of the pain and swelling was coming from. At the last post op checkup a polyp was beginning to form somewhere in my sinus cavity and about a month or so later the burning sensations returned.
