I've been dealing with sinusitis for years and had a septoplasty back in 2014 for a deviated septum, but I still get frequent sinus headaches and occasional nose blocks. The doctor also recommended functional balloon sinus surgery back then could that help with my ongoing issues or are there other treatments I should consider?

Can any bug actually make its way to the brain through the ear? Kind of like how a tapeworm can reach the brain through eating cabbage? Ive been curious if there's any risk like that with insects.

my brother has a small hole in his left ear along with sinus issues the doctor recommended sinus surgery first and mentioned his ear problem might improve too can you tell me the average cost of sinus surgery and whether insurance usually covers it

I don't think undergoing sinus surgery is going to cure your brothers ear problem which is most of the times permanent. sometimes it may reduce number of infective episodes in ear. but hole in the ear drum if long standing won't close unless operated. endoscopic sinus surgery cost depends on the surgeon who is operating and centre where surgery is done. cost may range from 10k to 50k.
