My right nose is blocked due to nasal congestion and allergies, and the doctor recommended surgery using advanced ENT with a navigator based on my CT scan and endoscopic report. They said skipping surgery could lead to chronic sinus issues. Are there any alternative treatments that could avoid surgery?

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.

I'm a singer, and I've been having this issue with my left ear. Whenever I hit high notes, it feels clogged or like there's a bubble in it. It's super frustrating because I'm a soprano, and I really need to be able to hit those high notes without any problems. Could it be something serious, or is there a way to fix it?

So, I had a tympanoplasty type 1 ear surgery back on May 10, 2018, and my doctor removed some gel forms on June 5, but mentioned there's still a bit left on my eardrum. They can't clear it yet 'cause the doc's on leave, and advised me to use otocin o ear drops, four drops daily, until then. My worry is, when I put the ear drops in before bed, they don't seem to drain properly. Even after sleeping for 7 to 8 hours, the drops just come out when I wake up. Is it okay for the medicine to stay in my ear for that long, or should I be worried about how they're not draining? How long are ear drops typically supposed to stay in the ear anyway?

I'm really worried. I was cleaning my daughter's ears and she moved, causing the tip to go too far in. Her ear started bleeding a little and she cried for a minute, but now she says she can hear fine and has gone back to doing her normal activities. I'm still freaking out. What should I do?

No need to worry when she has no symptoms,just observe for any discharge or so,if not you can forget about it.
