Question

I've been dealing with sinusitis and just got my report should I be worried about anything? Does it look like I might need surgery for this?

Sinusitis surgery is needed if there's nasal polyps, severe blockage, or repeated infections—CT scan helps assess severity and guide treatment.

Question

I've been having this sharp pin-pricking sensation in my throat whenever I swallow saliva. It usually happens the first time after it goes away, but then the same pain comes back after a little while. It's been like this for the past two weeks. Could you tell me what's going on and what I should do?

Question

I'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?

Question

I've been dealing with polypoidal thickening in my maxillary sinuses for about 4 months now. There's this constant tightness behind my left eye, cheek, and ears, along with some stiffness in the left side of my neck and headaches on the left side of my head. I'm really concerned about whether this could be something serious or life-threatening. Any insights?
