A member asked:

I'm constantly getting sinus infections and they're dreadful. antibiotics do not fix my problem, should i see a ent to consider septoplasty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: If you are getting diagnosed with ear infections all the time then it is time to see the ENT and Allergist to find out what is going on and why
