My sister-in-law has been hearing a hissing sound in quiet settings. She got an audiology test and a CT venogram of the neck and skull base done results are attached. Just wondering if this might need surgery or if it can be treated with meds. What do you think?

If no vascular cause is found, it may be tinnitus; surgery is rarely needed—meds or sound therapy may help.

I'm trying to figure out if it's okay to use Soliwax to clean my 7-year-old's ears. Is it safe for kids? And how should I use it?

Yes you can use it 2 drops twice in a day.

I'm really worried about my dad, who's 63. He's having this problem where there's a strong smell, like mucous, when he breathes out, both from his mouth and nose. He's never been into drinking alcohol or smoking, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me understand what's causing this and maybe recommend a good mouthwash or something that might help with his breathing?

I recently got a CT scan of my PNS, and the report shows I have a deviated septum, concha bullosa, and inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Lately, Ive been feeling this weird swollen sensation next to my nose on both sides, but theres nothing visible when I check in the mirror. I'm curious if this might be causing some of the symptoms Ive been experiencing. Like, could this be related to the pain I feel in my forehead, or the discomfort in my upper jaw, the area above my ear, and the side of my head? Sometimes I even notice balance issues, neck pain, and just feeling really tired or sleepy for no reason. Its weird, but these things mainly happen when I'm in an air-conditioned space or when cold wind hits my face. Does any of this sound connected to my nasal issues?

All these symptoms and CT findings are clear that you have Sinusitis, visit ENT doctor for appropriate management.avoid AC and consume warm foods
