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'm 33 weeks pregnant and dealing with a throat infection. I've been advised to take Taxim 200, but I've always associated it with being prescribed for diarrhea, while Amoxicillin was what I used for throat infections. I'm wondering if Taxim is really suitable for treating throat infections as well. Any insights?
Yes you can use Taxim for throat infection too no problem ot will work.

I've been dealing with this weird crawling sensation in my right ear for months now. I've already seen two ENT specialists and my GP, but no one found anything. They told me not to use ear buds, although I rarely do. One of the specialists mentioned that the lack of wax might be causing it and gave me ear drops, but they're not helping. The sensation comes and goes, but it's really starting to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "tinnitus," which can cause sensations like crawling, buzzing, or ringing in the ears. In your case, since there is no visible issue inside the ear and minimal wax, the crawling sensation could be due to nerve signals misfiring in the ear. I recommend trying a medication like Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. Betahistine can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. However, please consult your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is suitable for you.
