Posterior nasal packing after sinus surgery is not always necessary, but when it is, it's typically placed under general anesthesia, though sedation can be used in some cases, according to ENT specialists. The frequency of its use varies, but it's generally considered when bleeding from the posterior nasal cavity is difficult to control with other methods.

I've been experiencing this issue where my hearing keeps coming and going over the last couple of weeks. It's really odd because sometimes, especially when I'm eating, I feel like I can't hear anything at all, almost as if I'm completely deaf. Other times, things sound just fine. The problem seems to happen in intervals, and I'm honestly starting to get concerned about what's causing it. What could be going on with my ears?
You may be experiencing fluctuating hearing loss, which can have various causes. In your case, it could be related to a condition called Meniere's disease. To help manage the symptoms of Meniere's disease, you can take Betahistine (brand name Serc). Additionally, you may benefit from using a diuretic like Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) to reduce fluid retention in the inner ear. It is important to consult with an ENT specialist for a proper evaluation and management plan.
