Asked By:Toughts1234 in New York, NY

I’m 25, I’m suffering from sinusitis for the first time and it’s been 2 months now, I have fluid retention in many parts of my face.. around the nose and behind my eye. My concers are about the mild festoons I developed due to the edema around it.. And I never had those fesatons before.. so will they go away after treating the edema and the sinusitis?
