thank you.

any idea what the cost was?

I hadn’t mine done in Los Angeles so the cost isn’t applicable here. From what I have been quoted here for further surgeries (that’s what ENTs do), it’s not much cheaper here.  Cost shouldn’t be your concern.  Getting to the root of the problem should be.  That way, hopefully you can avoid surgery and any associated risks.

What is the purpose of the proposed surgery, given that you have already had deviated septum corrected?

 

Without knowing the purpose of the surgery/assumed root of the problem nothing can be said.

 

Suggest you consult Asst. Prof Songklot Aeumjaturapa at St Louis Hospital for second opinion. He will nto suggest surgery unless really necessary.

i keep getting infections in my sinuses.

doctor mentioned surgery with no solid reason, that is why i am kinda set against any surgery.

been here 7yrs. and lost count as to how many infections.

when i go to the doctor for an infection, i get the same meds every time.

augmentin,bilaxten,ropect and sulidine. i take cettec daily.
