I feel tightness and pain in my throat, especially when I swallow. I had deviated septum surgery before but now facing this issue. Could this be related or something else?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A sore throat and tightness when swallowing after deviated septum surgery can be normal due to the breathing tube and potential dripping of blood, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated by a doctor. It could also be related to other issues like allergies, infections, or even GERD.

View allI got hit pretty hard right across my head and jaw area by my partner on Friday night, and ever since, the spot has been really red, throbbing, and warm. The next day, I felt like I had cotton stuck in my ear. I tried blowing out air while holding my nose, but nothing seems to happen; no air coming out or any whistling noise from my ear. There's been no discharge, but the pain has been constant for two days now. Could this affect my hearing? I'm really worried about what could be causing all of this.
Yes there could be mini malltrauma to any part of the middle ear,better get evaluated with ENT doctor and audiometry test done as soon as possible.

I've been having vertigo episodes and I'm confused about whether to see an ENT specialist or a neurologist or maybe both - can you help me understand which symptoms would require which doctor? Also is vertigo dangerous or something that can cause long-term harm? And is it usually treated with medications or are there specific exercises that help - would I ever need surgery for this condition?
Vertigo can be caused by inner ear issues (like BPPV or vestibular neuritis), in which case an **ENT** is ideal. If symptoms include double vision, weakness, or numbness, a **neurologist** should be consulted. Most vertigo is not dangerous or long-term and improves with **medications and vestibular exercises**; surgery is rarely needed and only in specific conditions like severe Meniere’s disease.

Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?
7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.
