I've been dealing with sinus problems that cause heaviness around my nose and forehead. My doctor recommended surgery but I'm unsure - is nasal surgery really necessary for treating sinus issues? What other options might help relieve this pressure?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Try nasal irrigation, antihistamines, steam, or balloon sinuplasty before surgery if sinus pressure is mild.

View allI'm really worried about my son's recent diagnosis of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Can you tell me if his nasal turbinates might get bigger as he grows older? Also, what potential complications should I watch out for in the future because of this?
Inferior turbinate hypertrophy can indeed increase with age due to various factors such as allergies, infections, or chronic irritation. As the turbinate enlarges, it can lead to symptoms like nasal congestion, difficulty breathing, and recurrent sinus infections. In severe cases, it can even cause obstructive sleep apnea. To manage the symptoms and potential complications, your son can use nasal corticosteroid sprays like Flonase

I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and can barely talk because of it. The cough just won't go away, and I've got this annoying throat pain popping up occasionally. It's been like this for the last few days. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should do to feel better?

I've been dealing with a dry throat for the past three days. A few days ago, I had this sensation like something was caught in my throat, which eventually went away on its own, but now my throat just feels really dry. I get a mild cough, and there are times when I feel like I might have a fever, but then it disappears just as quickly. I've noticed some occasional chest pain, and sometimes my stomach acts up with gurgling twice a day. The only thing I've been taking is Calpol. It's particularly uncomfortable at night because the dryness makes it hard to sleep. Though there's no pain while swallowing or in the throat, it's beginning to bother me. Can you suggest any medicines or something I can do to help with this?
