Question

I've been dealing with some pain on the left side of my forehead, right above my eyebrow, for about a month now. Sometimes I notice a little bit of blood in my snot too. On top of that, I often feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to. What could be going on? Should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to help with the pain and congestion. You can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain, and Pseudoephedrine 60mg every 4-6 hours as needed for congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the blood in your snot and the urge to sneeze. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

I've been feeling something strange in my throat, like something's stuck. It's giving me neck pain, throat congestion, and making me feel really weak. I'm kind of worried about what's going on. Could this be something serious?

Question

I'm worried because yesterday I made a mistake and used hand sanitizer on my face and inside my nostrils when something dirty fell on me. I know I shouldn't have done it, and now I'm a bit concerned about any possible issues. I'm having a slight headache and the air I breathe through my nose feels warm. Could the alcohol in the hand sanitizer be drying out my nostrils? Could there be any side effects from this?

Question

I'm really worried because after using a Q-tip, my ear got totally clogged and I can barely hear anything now. I tried putting Debrox in on the same day but it didn't help. I even went to Urgent Care and the doctor tried flushing my ear, but still no improvement. Now I need to see an ENT. Is there anything they can do? Can you tell me if there's a chance the hearing loss might not be permanent? I'm not in any pain though.
