The ENT doctor did a full face x-ray and said one side of my nostril bone is bent and blocking some space, leaving very little room on that side. They gave me 10 days of medicine but I'm worried will the bone go back to normal with just meds or will I need surgery? I feel weak because I can't get enough oxygen through that nostril, what should I do?

It's understandable to be worried about a bent nostril bone and difficulty breathing. It sounds like you may have a deviated septum. While the ENT doctor prescribed medication, it's unlikely the bone will straighten itself back to normal on its own, and you may need surgery. Your ENT doctor will be able to guide you best on your particular case. If you are experiencing significant difficulty breathing, you should consult your ENT doctor again

View allI've been having this weird issue lately and I'm getting a bit worried. I'm a 26-year-old female, and for the past two days, I've noticed brown stains when I clear my throat in the morning. This has never happened to me before. Im also taking Sandu blood purifier syrup every night just before bed, and its the same color as the stains. On top of that, I get mouth ulcers and tonsillitis quite often. Do you think the syrup could be causing the discoloration, or is this something I should be more concerned about?
The brown stain in your cough could be due to the Sandu blood purifier syrup you are taking, as it is of the same color. It is possible that the syrup is causing irritation or inflammation in your throat, leading to the brownish stain in your cough. I recommend stopping the syrup for now and observing if the brown stain improves. Additionally, frequent mouth ulcers and tonsil issues may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation in your throat and oral cavity. I suggest you consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
