I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?

My ENT specialist diagnosed me with grade 4 tonsillitis and recommended surgery. I'm worried is surgery really necessary at my age? Could there be any long-term issues if I delay or avoid it?
A Grade 4 tonsillectomy recommendation by your ENT specialist, especially if it's for recurrent tonsillitis, is often a serious consideration. While surgery might seem daunting, delaying or avoiding it could lead to persistent or severe complications, and it's crucial to have an open discussion with your doctor about your concerns.

Is using clove oil safe to treat an ear infection at home? My right ear keeps ringing, and it's really irritating. Sometimes a liquid comes out, and then the ringing stops, but it starts again after a while. This has been happening for a couple of days now. What should I do?
Using clove oil for ear infections at home is not recommended as it can potentially cause irritation and allergic reactions in the ear canal. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can use over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and keep the ear dry. If there is discharge from the ear, avoid putting anything inside the ear canal and seek medical attention promptly.
