Question 1

My CT scan shows soft tissues filling almost all of my left maxillary sinus and less than half of the right one. What should I do next is surgery absolutely necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried and not sure what this means for me.

Accepted Answer

Yes surgery is advised to the patient.

Question 2

I've been experiencing some pretty severe pain in my throat every time I take a deep breath. This started after I accidentally burnt my throat while smoking. Do you have any suggestions or prescriptions that might help with this?

Accepted Answer

severe throat pain when taking a deep breath, especially after a burn injury from smoking, may indicate a possible throat infection, inflammation, or scar tissue formation; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist

Question 3

I've been told I need surgery for a deviated septum and possibly nasal polyps, and the hospital quoted around 43,000 rupees. Could there be any serious complications during the procedure that might end up costing a lot more than the estimated amount? I'm a bit worried about unexpected expenses if something goes wrong

Accepted Answer

Yes, while the quoted price of 43,000 rupees for septoplasty (deviated septum surgery) and possible polyp removal is a good starting point, unexpected complications could lead to higher costs. These might include complications related to bleeding, infection, or the need for additional procedures to address complications like septal perforation

I'm using ear drops that were prescribed to me, but every time I lie down and then stand up, the drops seem to come out of my ear. Is this supposed to happen, or should I be concerned?

Yest it is normal dont worry
