My vertigo issue hasn't gotten any better, and I'm not seeing any improvement. You mentioned I should avoid exercises, so I've been steering clear of them. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with it? I'm feeling a bit stuck and would love some guidance on next steps.

Vertigo can be a challenging condition to manage. Since you are not seeing any improvement and avoiding exercises as advised, I recommend trying medication to help alleviate your symptoms. You can try taking Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

View allI am suffering from allergy sinusitis from 5yrs but I have done allergy test but no allergy but nasal spray is not effective but some doctors telling do surgery but some doctors telling not required congestion is more night and early morning
It's understandable that you're seeking clarity on your chronic sinusitis, especially with conflicting opinions about surgery. Since your allergy tests are negative, the cause might be non-allergic rhinitis or other factors affecting your sinus drainage. If nasal sprays are not effective, and your symptoms persist, further evaluation and possible surgical intervention could be considered.

I'm 17 and getting a tonsillectomy around March 6th or 7th but my period is due on the 5th. I'm worried about having surgery during my period. Is there a way to prepone my periods so it doesn't clash with the surgery date?
Having surgery during your period won't affect the outcome of your tonsillectomy, but it can be uncomfortable. While there are methods to prepone your period, it's best to consult with your doctor or a gynecologist to discuss the risks and benefits of doing so. According to PRMA, experienced medical personnel are used to dealing with this and can provide you with sanitary products if needed

I've had a deviated septum and sinus blocks for almost two years now with constant colds and throat infections. I've been doing saline washes, warm compresses, and steam which help but my doctor recommended sinus drainage and correction surgery. I'm really nervous about surgery especially since I have two little kids and can't afford long recovery time. Will sticking to these home remedies clear the mucus completely or is there still a risk of infection? How long would recovery take if I do go for surgery could it be just a couple days or longer?
Given your long-standing deviated septum and sinus blocks, along with frequent colds and throat infections, it's important to seek professional medical advice. While saline washes can help manage symptoms, they may not address the underlying structural issues contributing to your problems. Consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist for a thorough examination and personalized treatment plan, which may include surgical correction of the deviated septum or other procedures to address sinus blockages.
