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.

View allI'm experiencing this weird sensation starting from my chest up to my throat, almost like a gargling feeling. There's a lot of post nasal drip and now my whole throat is super irritated. It's giving me this intense nausea that makes me gag a lot, sometimes over 20 times. It happens every few months and it's so bad that I can't keep anything down. As soon as something hits my throat, it just comes back up. Any advice on how to deal with this?
The combination of post-nasal drip, gagging, and nausea sounds incredibly uncomfortable, but with the right management, you can start to see relief. Its crucial to figure out the underlying cause (allergies, GERD, sinusitis, etc.) so you can target the treatment appropriately. If this is a recurring problem, seeing an ENT specialist or a gastroenterologist might help pinpoint the exact cause and provide a more tailored treatment plan.

I was just wondering when it's safe to start smoking again after having a tonsillectomy. I'm on day 11 of my recovery and I'm feeling way better, with almost no pain now. I even stopped taking pain meds three days ago. Any advice?

I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.
