My brother recently got a CT scan for his sinus problem and ear hole issue, and the doctor is recommending surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to want to explore all treatment options before considering surgery. For sinus issues and ear hole problems, non-surgical approaches can be effective in some cases. The cost of surgery can vary significantly, but generally, expect sinus surgery to range from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000 in India. Ear hole problems like tympanic membrane perforations might require tympanoplasty surgery, which can range from Rs. 30,000 to over Rs. 1 lakh, depending on the procedure and hospital

I've been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?
Isolated incidence is no issue, may be it was due to forceful throat clearing.

I've noticed that sometimes when I bend my neck or look down, water suddenly comes out through my nose. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if this could be something serious. Is this something I should be worried about?
You may be experiencing a condition called cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea, where cerebrospinal fluid leaks through the nose. This can be caused by a skull base fracture or a tear in the membrane surrounding the brain. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. Medications such as acetazolamide and gabapentin may be prescribed to reduce the production of cerebrospinal fluid.
