I've been told I need septoplasty and turbinoplasty surgery for my sinus issues but I'm not sure if it will give me permanent relief from sinus problems What are the actual benefits and risks of these surgeries Is there any way to treat sinus without going through surgery

Septoplasty/turbinoplasty help breathing if done well; risks are minimal—some cases improve with meds alone.

View allI've noticed a bump or pimple-like thing on my uvula, and it's been there for about a month now. There's no pus or anything. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this could be. Could you provide some insight into what kind of condition this might be?
its a case of uvulitis Gargle with warm salt water: Gargling with warm salt water can help reduce swelling and relieve pain. Mix one teaspoon of salt in one cup of warm water. Gargle every hour. Drink fluids: Drinking plenty of fluids can help ease a sore uvula.

I was using qtipsearbuds to clean my ear canals and might have gone in too deep because when I pulled it out, it was bloody and now my ear hurts. Could this mean I ruptured my eardrum? What should I do about it?

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've always been really skinnylike, my whole life. I'm around 55 kg, and nothing I've tried in terms of medicines or treatments seems to help me gain weight. I've also got a couple of other issues. My left ear veins aren't working right, so I can't hear out of it, and I'm starting to go bald even though I'm pretty young. Plus, I have this bad habit of chewing tobacco, which I know can't be helping. I'm really eager to figure out how to get healthier and maybe even bulk up a bit. Do you have any advice or suggestions on what I could do?
Patient is advised tobacco cessation.
