It's understandable to be concerned about tongue-tie release surgery for your 6-month-old baby. While the procedure is generally safe, especially for infants, it's crucial to weigh the potential benefits and risks with your pediatrician or a specialist like an ENT or pediatric dentist. General anesthesia is also safe for infants, but it's a factor to consider in the overall decision

my doctor recommended septoplasty fess and turbinoplasty for a deviated nasal septum and bilateral ethmoid and maxillary sinusitis but I'm not sure if it's really necessary could I manage without surgery or are there other options
It's understandable to have concerns about surgery, especially when dealing with a deviated septum and sinusitis. While surgical correction (septoplasty, FESS, and turbinoplasty) can be effective for these conditions, it's not always the first or only option. You can explore alternative approaches, such as medication and lifestyle changes, to manage your symptoms before considering surgery

I've been dealing with blocked ears and sharp shooting pain for about a month now. There have been times I hear sounds in my ear too. Steaming has helped open up my left ear, but my right ear still feels blocked and painful sometimes. I tried using soliwax, but it just made my ears ring. My hearing seems fine, though. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I'm really looking for some guidance.
