If your nose feels bent or the bone seems crooked, it could be a deviated septum or a broken nose, and straightening it without surgery is unlikely. If it's a deviated septum, surgery (septoplasty) may be needed, and if it's a broken nose, it requires immediate medical attention, including the possibility of surgical repair.

Question

I'm really worried because I went to an ENT clinic and they said I have BPPV. They did this thing called the Epley maneuver, but I'm still feeling dizzy. How long does it usually take for this dizziness to fully go away? I'm just desperate to get back to my normal life.

Question

I've got a bit of a situation here. I tried eating a bunch of French fries at once, and I think the sharp edges scratched my throat. Now I've got these little red patches on my throat wall, and it hurts when I swallow. Do you think this will just heal on its own, or should I be taking something for it?

Question

What's the success rate for surgery on an elongated styloid process compared to non-surgical treatments? I've been dealing with pain and wondering if surgery is worth it or if other options might work better
