Recovery from septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction surgery typically takes a few weeks, with full healing potentially taking a few months. You'll likely be able to resume most normal activities within a week, but some strenuous activities might need to be avoided for longer.

my mom has about 30% hearing loss and we're wondering if surgery is the only option or are there other treatments that could help her

For 30% hearing loss, hearing aids are usually the primary treatment option, rather than surgery. Hearing aids amplify sounds and improve speech understanding, especially in quiet environments. While surgery, like a cochlear implant, might be considered for more severe hearing loss, it's not the initial approach for moderate hearing loss

I'm dealing with this sensation like there's something stuck in my throat, and I've been getting this weird fast heartbeat along with feeling dizzy at times. What could be going on with me? Should I be worried?

These symptoms could be due to acid reflux causing a sensation of something stuck in your throat, along with palpitations and dizziness. You can try taking Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for acid reflux. Additionally, you can take Meclizine (Antivert) 25mg as needed for dizziness. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
