I have DNS and trouble breathing through my nose, no sneezing though. Can you check the CT scan I attached and let me know if I really need septoplasty surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A deviated septum, causing nasal obstruction and breathing difficulty, may or may not require surgery. A CT scan can help assess the severity of the deviation and guide treatment decisions. If the deviation is significant and causing symptoms like difficulty breathing, chronic sinus infections, or nasal obstruction impacting quality of life, septoplasty surgery might be recommended. However, if the deviation is mild and not causing significant symptoms, surgery might not be necessary. A consultation with an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist is crucial to determine the best course of action based on your specific situation and the CT scan results.

View allI'm feeling really worried because my neck feels heavy and I've got a cold. It feels like something's stuck in my throat, and it's super uncomfortable. Could this be something serious, or is it just part of having a cold? What should I do about it?

I've had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?
It sounds like you may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction due to your recent cold. To help relieve the blockage and pain in your ears, I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce the swelling in the Eustachian tubes. You can also try using a nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to further reduce congestion. Additionally, continue using the Otrivin ear drops for relief. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with throat pain for about 4 months now, and I've tried several medications for pharyngitis, but they haven't really worked. I recently switched to a new ENT doctor, and he prescribed more medicine for pharyngitis for 7 days. After taking it for just 2 days, I started having hiccups. For the past two days, I've been getting frequent hiccups every 2 to 3 hours, lasting around 10 to 15 minutes each time. I'm looking for some guidance on what might be causing this and how to prevent any issues. Any advice would be really helpful.
