Can FESS with turbinoplasty be done under local anesthesia or is general anesthesia necessary I'm a bit nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery) with turbinoplasty can be done under local or general anesthesia, but the choice of anesthesia depends on the specific procedure and patient's needs. General anesthesia is often preferred for more complex FESS procedures and turbinoplasty, while local anesthesia with sedation may be suitable for less extensive procedures

View allI've noticed some blood in my saliva and it's starting to worry me. Could this indicate something serious, and what precautions should I take? Also, are there any specific medicines I should consider?
Blood in saliva can be caused by various reasons such as gum disease, mouth sores, or respiratory infections. To prevent further bleeding, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. You should also avoid smoking and alcohol, as they can irritate the mouth and gums. For treatment, you can use mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to help reduce bacteria in the mouth and promote healing. In case of gum disease, you can use a gum paint containing chlorhexidine and metronidazole to reduce inflammation and infection. If the bleeding persists, it is important to consult a dentist for further evaluation and treatment.

My 4.6-year-old son has been struggling with adenoid issues for a year now and sometimes can't breathe properly through his mouth. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure what's the latest and safest type of adenoidectomy available? Is going for surgery the right choice for his age?
You can attempt conservative line of treatment(intranasal corticosteroid sprays) till his 5th birthday. If it does not regress by then, please have him undergo Coblation assisted Adenoidectomy under GA.

I've been having this pain near my left ear, like right between my jaw and tragus. It happened a few months ago too but went away eventually. Now it's back, and it gets worse when I bite down on something. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this and how to fix it?
That could be TM joint synovitis, visit Dentist for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
