I've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.
