I've been dealing with frequent sinusitis that worsens my asthma, and I'm wondering if surgery for a deviated septum could help. I'm tired of relying on meds like cetirizine and montelukast and have started jal neti and vaman for relief. Would surgery actually make a difference or are there other options I should consider?

Yes, surgery to correct a deviated septum (septoplasty) can potentially make a difference in managing your sinusitis and its impact on your asthma. It's a common procedure to improve airflow and reduce nasal congestion. However, it's crucial to consider other options and determine if surgery is the right fit for your individual situation.

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.

I woke up with a sore throat on one side this morning, and when I checked my tonsils this afternoon, I noticed a clear blister-like bump where it hurts. Should I be worried about this?
