FAQs

It happens when the sinus lining swells and becomes irritated. This could cause sinus pain or pressure, infection, nasal discharge, and obstruction of the nasal passages. Surgery may be an option if medical treatment is unsuccessful.

Hearing loss symptoms include trouble hearing in crowded spaces with distracting background noise, asking others to repeat themselves, feeling as though others are stumbling or not speaking properly, turning up the TV or radio louder than others, and experiencing ringing or buzzing in the ears. You can suffer depression and start to retreat from social situations in an effort to avoid interaction.

Nasal obstruction can develop from sinusitis, a deviated septum, enlarged nasal turbinates, enlarged adenoids, or nasal polyps in addition to sinusitis. When necessary, these problems can be treated surgically.

Most ear infections usually heal on their own in a week or so. Warm compresses, eardrops, and over-the-counter drugs can all be used to treat pain. Antibiotics are recommended if a bacterial infection is the cause. Ear tubes may help children who have recurrent ear infections.
