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've been dealing with this cough for 34 days now and it's getting really frustrating. On top of that, whenever I move my tongue or yawn, I get this strange pain in my tongue and ear. And when the earache gets really bad, it kind of feels like there's air trapped in my ears. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

That could be ear effusion, practice valsalva manoeuvre u will feel relieved.

I'm really worried about my brother. He was sleeping, and suddenly woke up with a sore throat. When he tried to cough, blood started coming out and it wouldn't stop for over an hour. It was pretty scary. Then, the same thing happened again after a week. What could be causing this, and should we be concerned?
