My doctor recommended sinus surgery costing around 30k but I'm wondering if laser treatment could be an option instead what's the average cost for that and would it work for my condition?

Laser sinus treatment, also known as Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RTR) or Laser Turbinate Reduction, can be a viable alternative to sinus surgery for some individuals, and the average cost can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000. While laser treatment may be effective for certain conditions, it's essential to discuss your specific case with your doctor to determine if it's appropriate and if it will address your particular sinus issues

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

I'm having a lot of trouble with persistent pain on one side of my throat, and it's affecting my ear, neck, and face. My eye also feels irritated. I've been dealing with this for a long time, even though I had a septoplasty about a year ago. The right side of my throat seems constantly infected, and it's making it hard for me to swallow and eat things like sour or oily foods. This issue also acts up when I'm outside. It's really making life difficult for me. What could be going on, and what should I do?

Given the complexity and persistence of your symptoms, its important to consult with an ENT specialist, as they can evaluate the full range of possible causes, from chronic infections to sinusitis or TMJ disorders. In addition to medical treatments, lifestyle adjustments and stress management can help you cope with the discomfort.

I'm having some ear pain for the past three days. It gets worse when I burp or do something similar, and now the pain seems to be spreading in my ear. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

Sounds like you may be experiencing ear infection symptoms. I recommend using over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can use ear drops containing benzocaine to help with the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
