I have a sinus infection and bad headaches because my nose is bent. Is it possible to straighten my nose without surgery? I'm really worried about this
While a deviated septum causing sinus issues and headaches can be bothersome, surgery (septoplasty) is generally the only way to correct a deviated septum. However, managing symptoms with medications and possibly nonsurgical rhinoplasty might provide relief and address the appearance of the nose.

I've had this bad throat for about a week, and I've been managing it with saltwater gargles. But last night, I experienced severe pain in my ear, so I took ALTHROCIN 500. The ear pain seems to be gone this morning, but now my ear feels closed. Is it alright that I took ALTHROCIN, especially since I've already taken two tablets?
