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 allMy daughter needs adenoid and tonsil surgery but I'm confused about the coblation machine. Is it always necessary for these procedures? Also can you suggest hospitals in Bangalore that do this surgery without coblation since our insurance doesn't cover it and the extra cost is quite high - around 9k to 18k in Koramangala hospitals
Coblation surgery for adenoids and tonsils is not always necessary. While it offers benefits like less pain and bleeding, it's not essential for all procedures. You can find hospitals in Bangalore that perform traditional adenoid and tonsil removal without coblation, especially since your insurance doesn't cover it and you're looking to minimize costs

I'm dealing with granular pharyngitis and my ENT said my throat is a bit red inside, plus I've got this ongoing acidity issue. I've been put on ESSOM L and Coolora mouthwash for ten days. Should I be worried about granular pharyngitis? Is it just a common thing or can it turn into something serious down the line?
Granular pharyngitis is a condition characterized by the presence of small, red spots on the back of the throat. It is usually caused by chronic irritation or inflammation of the throat. In most cases, granular pharyngitis is not a serious condition and can be managed with appropriate treatment. The medication ESSOM L is a combination of Esomeprazole and Levosulpiride, which helps in reducing stomach acid production and improving digestion. The recommended dosage is usually one tablet before breakfast for 10 days. Coolora mouthwash is used to relieve symptoms of sore throat and mouth infections. It is usually recommended to use the mouthwash after meals or as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of medication as advised by your ENT specialist. Additionally, managing your acidity issue through dietary and lifestyle modifications can help prevent further irritation to the throat. If you have any concerns about your condition or treatment, it is best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
