The doctor is recommending surgery for my sinus issues in the nose but I'm not sure if it's the right option. What are the risks and benefits of sinus surgery, and are there any alternatives I should consider first? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife for this.

Very few people need surgery for sinusitis. Most people can treat the problem with home care and medicines. Surgery may be a good choice for some people who have chronic (long-term) sinusitis. If medicines and self-care have not helped with your symptoms, surgery can remove blockages and make the sinus openings bigger

I'm having a problem with my right earit feels blocked, and I can hardly hear anything out of it. This has been going on for three days now and it all started suddenly when I woke up one morning. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
Right ear blockage can be due to various reasons such as earwax buildup, fluid accumulation, or an ear infection. I recommend using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help soften the earwax and clear the blockage. You can also try using a warm compress on the ear to relieve any discomfort. If the symptoms persist, you may need to see an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
