Question

I heard the nose and ears keep growing throughout life. During my rhinoplasty, the surgeon cut and repositioned the bottom of my nose now the tip bends downward and sticks out more than before. Will it grow back to normal over time, or will it keep drooping further forward? It's been bothering me so much that I've even started washing my nose constantly, like I do with my hands and lips after eating. Another doctor helped restore my breathing and smell any insight on this?

The myth that the nose continues to grow throughout life is false. While the nose can change shape and size due to aging and gravity, these changes are not related to growth. The drooping nose tip after rhinoplasty is more likely due to swelling, cartilage remodeling, or surgical complications, rather than continued growth. If you are experiencing significant discomfort or changes in the nose shape, it's crucial to discuss these with your surgeon or a specialist.

Question

I've had these holes in my ears since I was a kid, but I'm not really sure what they are. I did some googling and it looks like they might need surgery if they ever get infected. Here's the thing: I have no idea if my ears are infected or not. Every time I press near the holes, some kind of fluid comes out. Do you have any idea what this could be? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm really struggling with a runny nose that's been going on for like a year now. Whenever I take citrazine, it works for about three days, but then the symptoms just come back. I remember using Efcorlin nasal drops around 10 years ago for the same issue, and it helped a lot. Is there any way I can get a prescription for it online? It's been quite frustrating to deal with this on a regular basis.
