I have sinus issues and a deviated septum is surgery absolutely necessary for the septum problem I keep getting vertigo attacks frequently

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Surgery for a deviated septum (septoplasty) is not always necessary and depends on the severity of symptoms and whether they are caused by the deviated septum. While it can improve breathing and potentially reduce sinus issues and vertigo, it's not a guaranteed solution for all cases and may not be needed if symptoms are mild or manageable with medication

I'm really worried about what's going on with me. I woke up on Sunday with a sore throat and now both my tonsils are super swollen, red, and have these white spots all over them. Plus, my uvula has these weird red dots. Swallowing is so painful, and my lymph nodes are really tender. What could be causing all this and should I be worried?

Unsettling ear sounds can be disturbing! The "gu gu gu" or motor-like sound in your right ear could be: 1. *Tinnitus*: A common condition characterized by ringing, buzzing, or other sounds in the ear. 2. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The tube connecting the middle ear to the back of the throat might be blocked, causing unusual sounds. 3. *Earwax buildup*: Excess earwax can cause strange noises, especially when lying down. 4. *Middle ear muscle spasms*: Tiny muscles in the middle ear can contract and cause sounds. To alleviate the issue: 1. *Consult an ENT specialist*: For a thorough examination and diagnosis. 2. *Try ear drops*: To help dissolve excess earwax. 3. *Use a white noise machine*: To mask the sound while sleeping. 4. *Avoid loud noises*: And take regular breaks in quiet environments. Keep in mind that these sounds can be intermittent and might resolve on their own. However, it's essential to consult a specialist to rule out any underlying conditions.
