My PNS CT scan shows mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses, right sphenoid, both ethmoid sinuses, and a little in the left frontal sinus. I've had headaches for the past two months do I need surgery for this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sinus mucosal thickening on CT and recurrent headaches may be treated with steroids and antibiotics;functional endoscopic sinus surgery is recommended if medical therapy fails.

View allI've been dealing with this weird crawling sensation in my right ear for months now. I've already seen two ENT specialists and my GP, but no one found anything. They told me not to use ear buds, although I rarely do. One of the specialists mentioned that the lack of wax might be causing it and gave me ear drops, but they're not helping. The sensation comes and goes, but it's really starting to drive me crazy. Do you have any suggestions on what else I could try?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called "tinnitus," which can cause sensations like crawling, buzzing, or ringing in the ears. In your case, since there is no visible issue inside the ear and minimal wax, the crawling sensation could be due to nerve signals misfiring in the ear. I recommend trying a medication like Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dose of 16 mg three times a day. Betahistine can help improve blood flow in the inner ear and reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. However, please consult your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is suitable for you.

My nose bone is bent and causing sinus and head problems. Is there any way to straighten it without surgery? I really don't want to go under the knife if there's another option. What can I do to fix this?
Mild deviations with minor symptoms can try nasal strips, decongestants, or breathing exercises before opting for surgery.

I've got this pimple or bump on my uvula, and it's really painful when I eat or drink. I'm not sure whether this is something that'll go away on its own or if I should get it checked out. What do you think?
It sounds like you may have a small irritation or infection on your uvula, which can cause discomfort while swallowing. While it might resolve on its own, if the pain persists, worsens, or you notice other symptoms, it's a good idea to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
