I've been diagnosed with a deviated septum to the right side and concha bullosa on the right as well. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. What are the risks if I don't get it done, and how much would surgery actually help my symptoms?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If your deviated septum and concha bullosa aren't causing significant breathing problems, sleep disturbances, or other quality-of-life issues, surgery might not be necessary, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, if symptoms are bothersome, surgery can offer significant relief with good success rates.

View allI've been noticing a hissing sound in my ears whenever I do the Valsalva maneuver. It's starting to worry me, and I'm not sure if it's normal or if I should be concerned about something more serious. Could it be related to ear pressure, or do you think there's something else going on that I should get checked out?

I've been noticing a bit of blood in my saliva when I spit in the mornings, usually just in the first few spits, and then it doesn't happen again throughout the day. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough or pain. I've never smoked or used tobacco, and I don't drink alcohol either. This has been going on for about a week now, but it doesnt happen every single day, maybe once every couple of days. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing this, hoping it's nothing serious. Any ideas?
Yes as your doctor said that could be because of dryness or you might be having Dns or so..visit your ENT doctor for evaluation otherwise as the quantity is negligibke you can forget about it,stay hydrated.

I have chronic suppurative otitis media and one ear is completely damaged I can't hear at all from it. The other ear has a small hole in the eardrum. The doctor prescribed antibiotics, but I'm worried will this infection go away completely? And is there any chance my damaged ear could recover without surgery?
