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.

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
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

I'm really struggling with tinnitus and I'm desperate to find a solution. It's been about 4 months now and I've already tried Otocap, Goonj Forte, Lecope, and Cefakind 250, but they only helped reduce the sound by about 50%. My tinnitus started from depression, high blood pressure, and constipation. I'm curious if there's any doctor in India who's successfully treated someone with tinnitus and they fully recovered. I've attached my audiogram report too. Can you share any advice or experiences with treatments that really worked?
