Moderate thickening of mucus in Sphenoid sinus - What can be done?

I don't have headaches but a CT (for something else) recently noted moderate thickness of mucus in the Sphenoid sinus.

The sphenoid sinus cavity as many might know is notoriously difficult to access as far as any sort of nasal irrigation. The feedback I've gotten from my primary doctor and an ENT in the past was basically that there's nothing much that can be done about this, and that unless having headache related to the sphenoid, they simply don't want to pursue it. Due to its location it's understandably challenging to treat. Has anyone ever had experience with this, and is there in fact little to nothing that I can do to reduce this moderate mucosal thickness in the sphenoid?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Mike
