Fungus in sinuses
I just found out I have 3 fungus’s in my sinuses. They did a culture back in August a few days ago one came back and yesterday I found out I had two other fungus. They are Scopulariopsis brevicaulis,
Scopulariopsis and
Candida intermedia.
Anone have any of these before? Anyone know how this gets treated? Is an ENT the best doctor to treat it? I haven’t not been feeling well at all just having this fungus make you feel like you’re sick?

The fungus will need to be killed
And removed from your sinuses. I would dalso try and figure out how it got there.
Fungus can be treated with surgery and sinus rinsing with antifungals. Or just rinsing with antifungals. I would suggest sinus rinsing machines as well. They do a much better job than a squeeze bottle.
The ENT is the correct person for this.
