Question 1

My CT scan shows soft tissues filling almost all of my left maxillary sinus and less than half of the right one. What should I do next is surgery absolutely necessary or are there other options? I'm a bit worried and not sure what this means for me.

Accepted Answer

Yes surgery is advised to the patient.

Question 2

My uvula is looking really red and I can see a lot of veins on it. There's also a small sore on the side. I don't have a fever, but it feels really dry and uncomfortable in the mornings. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

take more oral fluids.

Question 3

I'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Accepted Answer

Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable.

Before providing a prescription, consider:

- Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth
- Gargling with salt water
- Using a humidifier
- Avoiding spicy or acidic foods

For relief, you can try:

- Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen
- Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol

However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.

My mom is 42 and lost 75% hearing in her right ear. Doctors recommended a tympanomastoidectomy. Is this surgery safe or are there any side effects we should know about
