I've been diagnosed with sinus disease and my doctor recommended FESS surgery but I haven't tried any first-line antibiotics yet except montek LC. My symptoms are PND, stuffy nose, and sore throat but no major pain or discomfort. Is surgery really necessary without exploring other treatments first?

It's generally recommended to explore non-surgical treatments for sinus disease before considering FESS (Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery). While FESS can be effective for chronic sinusitis when other treatments fail, it's not typically the first approach.

View allI've been taking HIFENACP twice daily for 3 days, along with Levocetirizine and Azithromycin once daily because I had a fever of 102 and body ache. I'm almost done with the medication, but my throat infection is still really bad. Should I continue the medication or switch to something else? If yes, what would you recommend?
yes continue the treatment

I've had Saunf stuck in my throat since this morning and it's constantly irritating me. I've already tried some home remedies like eating banana with honey and gargling with hot water, but it hasn't worked. What else can I do to get rid of it?

I've been noticing that since yesterday, everything sounds kind of echoed. It's like someone is talking to me through a hollow pipe right next to my ear. And today, I've started having a mild headache. Could this be a stress-related issue because I had an intense week with non-stop phone calls using in-ear headphones for about 8 hours each day? Or should I be concerned about something else going on?
The continuous use of in-ear headphones for long hours can sometimes lead to such problems. I recommend taking a break from using headphones and giving your ears some rest. You can also try using over-the-counter ear drops like Debrox to help with any ear congestion. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.
