Can I Have Knee Surgery While Suffering From Cough?
Question: i have tinnitus in the ears should i have knee surgery since I have to do a lot of coughting
Brief Answer:
Yes Tinnitus is due to ear problems
Detailed Answer:
Hi madam.Thanks for your query.
Knee surgery can be done although you may have been having cough.Cough will not alter the results of surgery.
Tinnitus in the ear has to be evaluated for ear problems and other vascular problems.I would ideally do ENT examination, ask for carotid doppler (to exclude blood vessel blockage) scan and advise accordingly.Tinnitus can be medically managed and nothing to panic.
Hope this helps.
Please feel free to revert for further queries you may have.
