Question 1

I just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?

Accepted Answer

This is a condition called sinusitis,no need to worry just follow your doctors advice ,avoid cool foods and cold weathers there is nothing to worry.

Question 2

So, I'm really worried about my cousin who's been dealing with mouth ulcers a lot. My family's regular doctor mentioned maybe seeing an ENT specialist, but I'm not quite sure if that's the right path. She's tried dietary supplements and a bunch of other stuff, but nothing seems to help. Now the ulcers just won't go away. Who do you think would be the right specialist for this?

Accepted Answer

You can visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Question 3

I'm dealing with tonsil stones for the past year and I've noticed some small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove a few, but can't get rid of the ones on the outer part. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat, but I don't have any ear pain, fever, swelling, or sore throat. The only issue is a dry throat. What should I do next? How can I relieve this problem without surgery? I've been gargling with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis? Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Consult an ENT specialist to rule out underlying conditions like allergies, sinusitis, or non-allergic rhinitis. Consider:

1. Allergy testing
2. Nasal endoscopy
3. Imaging tests (CTMRI scans)

Continue medications as prescribed, and explore additional measures like humidifiers, saline nasal sprays, and avoiding irritants.

I'm a bit worried about my right ear. It's been feeling blocked for almost three weeks now. There's no pain, but it keeps leaking this sticky yellow mucus, and sometimes it pumps out clear fluid too. Not sure what's going on. What could be causing this?

its a case of acute supuurative otitis media this can be prevented by taking supportive measures as well as antibiotics
