Your healthcare provider will give you general anesthesia that puts you to sleep. You may also get antibiotics to reduce the chance of an infection. Once you're asleep, your provider will access your eardrum.

Question

I'm really struggling with this sinus issue caused by a deviated septum. Its been two years now, and it's been really persistent. Over the past couple of months, I've had sinus pain four or five times, and it's different each time. Sometimes its a sore throat, other times breathlessness or chest tightness, and then it could be facial pain or heaviness and pain in my nose. Is there any permanent solution for this? I'm just worried because it keeps coming back, and I'm not sure what to do.
