🩺🦋 If a thyroid nodule is large, uncomfortable, or overactive, an ENT specialist or endocrinologist may recommend one of several treatment options—many of which are minimally invasive.

🔹 Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): A nonsurgical, ultrasound-guided procedure that uses heat to shrink benign thyroid nodules while preserving healthy tissue. Often performed outpatient with significant volume reduction over time.

🔹 Ethanol Ablation: An effective outpatient option for fluid-filled (cystic) nodules, using a small alcohol injection to collapse and shrink the cyst.

🔹 Surgery: Recommended for very large nodules, compressive symptoms, or nodules suspicious for cancer.

Treatment decisions are based on nodule type, symptoms, and individual patient needs.

Can a sinus infection cause a fever? 🤒👃
Yes — and the type of fever can offer clues about what’s causing the infection.

Viral sinus infections (most common) may cause a low-grade fever early on. 🌡️
These fevers usually stay below 100.4°F (38°C) and often fade as cold symptoms improve, even if congestion sticks around.

Bacterial sinus infections (less common) can cause a higher or persistent fever. 🔥
Signs it may be bacterial include:
🔹 Fever above 101°F (38.3°C)
🔹 “Double sickening” — feeling better, then suddenly worse
🔹 Symptoms lasting 10+ days with no improvement

🌀 Vertigo and dizziness are terms often used interchangeably, but they’re not the same.

Dizziness is a broad feeling of lightheadedness, faintness, or imbalance — more like being unsteady than spinning. Common causes:

🩸 Sudden drop in blood pressure
💧 Dehydration
😰 Anxiety or stress
💊 Medications
👂 Inner ear issues

🌪️ Vertigo is a specific type of dizziness — the sensation that you or your surroundings are spinning when nothing is moving. Common causes:

⚖️ BPPV (dislodged inner ear crystals)
💦 Meniere’s disease (fluid buildup)
🦠 Inner ear inflammation
🤕 Migraines or, rarely, stroke

Quick way to tell:

🔹 “I might faint” → Likely dizziness
🔹 “The room is spinning” → vertigo
🔹 Triggered by standing up fast → dizziness
🔹 Triggered by rolling over or head movement → vertigo
