I'm dealing with chronic allergic rhino sinusitis and have a deviated nasal septum with enlarged turbinates. I recently heard about something called ENS, which can happen after turbinate reduction surgery. Is it safe to go ahead and get my deviated septum fixed along with FESS without doing anything to the turbinates, or is there a risk I should be aware of?

Understanding ENS (Empty Nose Syndrome)
- ENS can occur after excessive turbinate reduction, leading to nasal dryness and breathing difficulties.
-
Role of Turbinates in Nasal Function
- Turbinates help humidify and filter air; their removal can disrupt these functions.
-
Considering Septoplasty and FESS Without Turbinate Surgery
- Correcting a deviated septum and performing FESS without turbinate reduction may lower ENS risk.
-
Risks and Benefits Discussion
- Weigh symptom relief from septal correction against potential risks. Individualized planning is crucial.

View allHey, so about a week ago, I accidentally got a piece of guava stuck in my windpipe. At first, some of it came out, and I didn't really feel like there was anything left. But now, for the past two or three days, it feels like something is still there, and it's starting to hurt. I looked it up online and came across the Heimlich maneuver. I gave it a shot, but nothing changed. Then I read about this "coca cola trick" where carbonated drinks might help dislodge it. Do you think that could actually work? Should I give it a try? And if it's really stuck there for a long time or ends up in my lungs, is that really bad?
Ideally its impossible for food particle to stay in your wind pipe because it will immediately cause you choking effect,you might be having minor trauma there while having food,no need to worry consume warm water and take adequate rest tha will slef resolve,if becoming worse visit ENT doctor for appropriate management

I've got a really odd situation going on. I threw up a cheeseburger and fries, and it was so intense that somehow it came out of my nose and even my ears. I'm confused and a bit worriedhow could this happen? I was literally cleaning bits of food out of my ears with cotton swabs and alcohol. Now, it's been about 72 hours, and while I've managed to get most of it out of my nose, it still feels like there's something stuck in my ear canals. Is this something I should be really worried about, and is there anything else I can do to clear it out?
That's impossible that food coming out of ears, your ear might have got blocked, practice valsalva for relief,if it's becoming worse visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

I had a mastoidectomy tympanoplasty about three weeks back, and ever since, I've been hearing these dub dub sounds every now and then. But since yesterday, I've been hearing it a lot more, and just today, it went on for about 20-30 minutes straight. There's no pain, but I'm really curious about why this is happening. It seems to get worse when I'm traveling, especially if there are potholes on the road. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
