Ask about somnoplasty to cure some chronic cases of congestion. Understand that your doctor will only recommend surgery in extreme cases. Ask about laser turbinate surgery (LTS) for minimally invasive, extra-quick decongestion.

Answer: Nasal congestion has a host of potential causes, and you won't get good treatment without honest answers. Some potential questions your doctor will ask include: Amount of time congested. If longer than seven days, see a doctor immediately. Color of mucus Other symptoms, including aches, fever, coughing, etc. Any known allergies. Whether or not you smoke.

Be sure to tell the doctor if you take any other drugs or medication regularly. This easy, 15-minute procedure clears up obstructions in your nose. It uses heat to open up your sinuses and clear blockage. You will be put under local anesthetic and will likely be out the door within an hour. While you will have hot needles in both nostrils, most patients hardly feel a thing. There will be congestion for the first 1-2 weeks as you heal. If the procedure does not work, it can be repeated several weeks later. This is usually performed by an ENT doctor in their office, not at the hospital. If you have a major infection or blockage, you might need endoscopic sinus surgery. A rigid camera will be placed up your nose, which is used to guide a surgeon trying to remove diseased areas or opening up natural cavities. Surgery is almost always outpatient. You will return home that day. Pain is minimal, and you should feel as good as new within a week or less. Revisions are occasionally necessary, though the success rate is high. Turbinates are the structures in your nose that cause congestion. Using CO2 or KTP lasers, they are shrunk down within 20 minutes. There is no packing needed and you can return to work the same day.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Keep calm. Look for injuries. Apply first aid. Call and visit your veterinarian.

Answer: Although witnessing your dog suffer a fall can be a frightening experience, you need to remain calm. By staying as relaxed as possible you will be able to best assess your dog's condition as well as help your dog to remain calm. This can prevent further injury or stress. If your dog sees you panicking it will likely also panic, increasing its pain and stress levels. After your dog has fallen, calmly look for any signs of injury that you can see. Don't touch your dog as you look, use only your eyes. By evaluating the extent of damage your dog has sustained during the fall, you will be able to best judge what to do next. Look for some of the following signs of injury in your dog: Yelping is a clear sign that your dog is in pain. Check your dog for any surface injuries such as cuts, scrapes, or protruding bones. Look at the dog's front and back legs. If a limb is broken, it may appear disfigured, being bent or held at an odd angle. Some broken bones might not be visible. If your dog is limping for more than five minutes, take it to your veterinarian. Injured dogs will breathe faster than normal. Look for a sustained increase in the rate of breathing in your dog. Not all injuries will be external or visible. Only a veterinarian will be able to verify internal injuries. Look at the dog's gums. Pale or white colored gums may mean that the dog is in shock or is bleeding internally. This is an emergency and the dog will need immediate veterinary attention. If you have noticed any obvious injuries to your dog you can apply first aid. Applying basic first aid to your dog can help prevent the injury from worsening during the time it takes to get it to the veterinarian. Only apply first aid if your dog seems comfortable with you doing so. Stress and pain might make your dog growl or even bite you, so work slowly and monitor your dog's reactions. If your dog is unable to move, do not pick it up until it has a stable and solid surface underneath it such as a board. Never treat any serious wounds yourself. Leave severe injuries for your veterinarian to treat. Clean any superficial cuts or wounds by applying saltwater to the affected area. Apply pressure using a clean piece of gauze to any areas that are heavily bleeding. Having assessed what injuries your dog may have and after applying first aid, it's time to call your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will be able to best identify and treat any injuries your dog may have after its fall. If your dog has severe injuries, take it to an emergency veterinarian immediately. Take your dog to the veterinarian as soon as possible, even if injuries are not immediately life threatening. Even if your dog doesn't have apparent or obvious injuries, your veterinarian can detect issues that may be internal or unclear.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Write a succinct, single-sentence statement about your subject. Choose 3 to 5 supporting points for your topic. Choose how to keep your speech on point. Decide whether you want to use visual aids. Write a brief biographical introduction about yourself.

Answer:
Try to write something that will hook your audience so that you immediately grab their attention. Try starting the speech writing process by free-writing. Write as much as you can about your subject as fast as you can. Don't worry about judgment or crafting perfect sentences. Once you have your points on paper, you can start refining them and putting them in order. Use an anecdote or a quote. Sometimes, someone else has already said it better than you ever will. A quote, provided it hasn't been overused, can help you get things started. Just be sure to look for a quote that is surprising or unique, and always credit your source. Be cautious about opening with a joke unless you know your audience well. You may think that a joke is funny, but your audience may find it humorless or even offensive. Make sure that your points are concise and direct. You can start by looking at generic sources like an encyclopedia or Wikipedia, but you need to fact check your ideas with more authoritative sources after you generally understand your subject. Draw on your own experience. If you have a long history with your topic, your experiences and personal stories can be great resources. Just keep these stories succinct so that you don't ramble and lose the audience's attention. Decide whether you want to write out your speech or to outline the speech on index cards. Consider your comfort level with the topic. If you know the topic well and can improvise easily, then use index cards. Use 1 card for the introduction. This card should include your opening statement. Use 1 or 2 cards for each supporting point. Then, create 1 card for the conclusion which ties back to the main idea of your speech. Write brief sentence fragments or even single words on your cards. These words or fragments should contain key phrases that remind you of what you want to say. If you feel insecure or don't know the subject well, write out the words of your speech exactly as you want to say them. The choice to use visual aids will depend on the size of your audience and the length of your speech. A long speech, for example, may be easier to sit through with some visuals to break it up. You may create a Prezi or a PowerPoint presentation to go along with your speech, or you may choose to use paper-based charts and graphs. Keep the visuals to a minimum. You want them to aid your speech, not to overshadow it. Always make sure your speech can stand on its own should technical problems occur. Make sure that the audience can read the content of your visuals. Too big is better than not big enough. Check the facilities of the room in which you will be speaking. If you need Internet or you need a projection screen, be sure that the facility has the equipment. Arrive to the room early to make sure everything is functional for your speech. Providing your credentials before your speech can help you set your tone, and give you the chance to list your credentials without bragging. Use this to let the audience get an assessment of who you are, and take the moment to introduce not only your background but your style of speaking.If someone will be introducing you before your speech, then providing this introduction beforehand will be helpful. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2f\/Do-Research-Step-19.jpg\/v4-460px-Do-Research-Step-19.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2f\/Do-Research-Step-19.jpg\/aid9476-v4-728px-Do-Research-Step-19.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>
