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 21 and recently got a small tear in my eardrum because of water from a pond. I've noticed that water is frequently leaking from my ear now. My doctor recommended that I take serlox D, ceferite 500, montas L, and pentab 40. Do you think these medicines will actually help with my condition?
The medications prescribed by your doctor seem appropriate for managing the ear infection, preventing complications, and supporting healing. Make sure to adhere to the treatment plan and avoid water exposure to your ear until the eardrum has healed. If you have any concerns or experience unusual symptoms, be sure to follow up with your doctor.

I'm just wondering about how long you can use ear drops after opening them. If the bottle says they expire in November 2022, does that mean they're good to use until then, even if I've opened it?
After opening a bottle of ear drops, it is generally safe to use them for about 4 weeks. However, it is important to check the specific instructions on the bottle for any recommended duration of use after opening. If the bottle indicates an expiration date of November 2022, you can use the ear drops until that date as long as you follow proper storage instructions and there are no signs of contamination or changes in the appearance or smell of the drops. Make sure to recap the bottle tightly after each use and store it in a cool, dry place.
