I recently visited a Neurologist because I've been having headaches. The doctor did an MRI scan and luckily they didnt find any abnormalities in my brain. However, they did see some mild mucosal thickening in my bilateral maxillary sinuses. I'm really curious and a bit worried about what this means for my health. Could you explain what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?

The finding of mild mucosal thickening in your maxillary sinuses likely indicates sinus congestion, which is usually manageable with supportive care like nasal sprays, hydration, and decongestants. If your symptoms persist or worsen, consult with your doctor for further evaluation and possible treatments.

I've been noticing this clicking sound in my ear whenever I swallow, but there's no pain involved. I'm just curious if this is normal and happens to others too, or if it might indicate something's not right. Any insights?

Question

I just had ear wax removal today. The doctor gave me ear drops to use for a week, and then they took care of the wax manually. It wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some pressure and pain in my ear. Is this something that usually happens afterward? The doctor mentioned Calpol and Zoxwax drops, and also prescribed an Allrite DC tablet. I'm wondering how long I might feel this way.

Question

I'm looking for some advice because I often get a throat infection when I eat curd or buttermilk, even if I leave it out of the fridge for a bit before eating. It makes me feel feverish and causes body pain, and the whole thing can last for about 45 days. The doctor usually gives me medicine or even antibiotics, and sometimes I have to get a shot for weakness, but I still feel weak for a week afterward. So I've been avoiding curd and buttermilk. I also seem to get throat infections with fever frequently throughout the year, especially during the rainy season. Do you know what's causing this or what I can do right away when I start feeling like I'm getting a throat infection?
