I have a deviated septum and my ENT doctor recommended surgery after seeing my CT scan but said it's optional and up to me to decide. My main issues are one nostril always being blocked, post nasal drip causing cough, and tinnitus. Right now I manage with cetirizine but I'm not sure if I should go for surgery. What factors should I consider when deciding? My CT scan shows the deviation but I'm worried about recovery and whether it'll actually help my symptoms long-term.

I'm really concerned about my hearing. Over the past four months, I've been experiencing sensorineural hearing loss, mixed hearing loss, and tinnitus. The sounds I'm dealing with are around 60 to 70 dB. Could you help me understand what's going on and what options I might have?
Chronic cold symptoms may indicate chronic sinusitis. Cetirizine helps alleviate symptoms, but a permanent cure depends on the underlying cause. Possible treatments for chronic sinusitis: - Antibiotics (if bacterial infection) - Nasal corticosteroids - Saline nasal irrigation - Surgery (in severe cases) Consult an ENT specialist for: - Proper diagnosis - Personalized treatment plan - Discussion of potential allergen avoidance or immunotherapy Note: Cetirizine is an antihistamine, not a cure for sinusitis.

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed a small lump on the right side of my neck. It feels a bit firm, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if it could just be a swollen lymph node. It hasn't really changed in size or become painful, but it's making me anxious. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own? What could be causing this lump, and do I need to get it checked out soon?
