Question

My sinuses are killing me and the pain is unbearable, especially when I lie down it feels like someone's smashing my nose with a hammer. My throat hurts too and there's so much pressure building up. I really don't want to go straight to surgery or antibiotics, are there any natural remedies that can help with this?

Sinus pressure occurs when the membranes that line your nasal passages become irritated or inflamed. Mucus may also build up and stop draining, leading to pain and pressure. Causes include colds, allergies and sinus infections. Taking over-the-counter medications and keeping your sinuses moist can help ease discomfort.

Question

My dad is 45 and has been having ear problems with mucus discharge every other day. We saw an ENT doctor who said both ears might need surgery. I'm not sure if surgery is really necessary or if medications could help instead. Also, if surgery is needed, does it have to be for both ears or just one? Can you check the reports I've attached and let me know what you think?
