If you don't have any ear discharge or middle ear infection then sclerosis of mastoid is totally insignificant. Type of mastoid pneumatization varies from person to person and none of the types are abnormal in absence of chronic middle ear infection. So in your case it seems to be just normal
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
