Brandi Glanville sent to urgent care after taking medical advice from TikTok following ‘life saving’ boob job

by

Brandi Glanville was recently hospitalized due to a new health issue.

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 53, shared on her podcast that she tried a unique remedy to get rid of a cold she caught from her 18-year-old son, Jake.

After seeing a TikTok video suggesting it could relieve sinus problems, Glanville decided to try putting a clove of garlic in her ear.

She admitted on the Brandi Glanville Unfiltered podcast that the situation worsened, and she needed to go to urgent care the next day to have it removed.

She explained she was simply trying to relieve sinus congestion. Then she cautioned against believing everything you see online, including on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.

Putting a clove of garlic up your nose is a popular, but unproven, home remedy for clearing blocked sinuses.

Glanville explained that she first put the clove in her nose, but it began to burn, so she moved it to her ear.

‘It was burning too much so I moved it to my ear. It was like burning my skin because I’d just lasered it,’ she said. 

Doctors advise against inserting garlic into any body openings except the mouth.

Although she recently faced a challenge, Glanville seems to be recovering well after surgery to remove her breast implants, which she has described as life-saving.

The mother of two recently had surgery with Dr. Ariel Ourian to replace her breast implants, which had been leaking and were about 18 years old.

Glanville had previously said her face was disfigured by what she believed were parasites she contracted while filming The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club 2 in Morocco in 2023.

A severe infection caused significant facial disfigurement, and Glanville spent approximately $200,000 attempting to correct it.

She found out last year that her broken breast implants were pressing on her lymph nodes, and this was stopping her face from healing after she got an infection.

Glanville told TMZ she had a parasite, and also discovered her breast implants had completely broken, spreading silicone throughout her lymph nodes.

She told In Touch Weekly that a technician explained her facial issues were likely due to blocked lymph nodes filled with silicone, preventing natural drainage.

Glanville added, ‘It’s something that I could die from if I hadn’t figured it out.’

The reality star had surgery with Dr. Ourian in early February to replace her old breast implants with new ones.

Even though Glanville is recovering well after her surgery, she continues to believe a parasite is the root of her ongoing health problems.

She explained on the I Do Part 2 podcast that she’s been covering the costs herself to see a variety of specialists – including doctors who treat infectious diseases and rheumatologists – essentially, every kind of doctor you can imagine.

I saw twenty-one different doctors, and after spending around $200,000, my experience with my insurance company was terrible.

Glanville says that her ongoing health battle has destroyed her personal and professional life.

She shared that it had been three years since she last had sex, and she believed this was connected to a loss of confidence that had also made her feel unwell.

It felt like everything fell apart all at once. I lost my job, my good name, and even how I saw myself.

Glanville was last seen on TV in season one of Peacock’s The Traitors in 2023.
