Can Meniere's disease be fatal?
Meniere's disease is not life-threatening. Also known as Meniere's disease, it is caused by fluid accumulation in the inner ear labyrinth, leading to symptoms such as tinnitus, fluctuating hearing loss, revolving vision, and vertigo. When Meniere's disease occurs, we should first perform comprehensive examinations like cranial MRI and high-resolution CT of the temporal bone to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment primarily involves vasodilators, nerve nutrition, hormones, and vestibular suppressants to improve local symptoms. Additionally, during an episode, it is advisable to rest in a supine position, ensure adequate rest, avoid staying up late, and maintain a light diet to alleviate symptoms.
What is sinusitis?
Sinusitis is a nonspecific inflammation of the sinus mucosa, a common and frequently occurring illness. Its onset is often due to diseases of the nasal cavity such as nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of the nasal turbinates, or nasal cavity tumors that block the sinus ostia, all of which can lead to sinusitis. Patients with sinusitis typically experience symptoms such as nasal congestion, purulent nasal discharge, and headaches. Usually, a diagnosis requires sinus CT scans, either plain or enhanced, to confirm the occurrence of sinusitis. Once diagnosed, most cases of sinusitis can be alleviated with oral medication. However, a small number of patients who are difficult to cure may need surgery to open the sinus ostia and maintain drainage, thus curing the sinusitis.
