Hey, I've been having this weird jaw pain right at the hinge, and I think it's a bit swollen, but only on the left side. I just had some dental work done on that side because of a cavity, and now it hurts to open my mouth wide. This all started last night, but for about five days before that, I'd wake up with a sore throat, a runny nose, and mucus. Strangely, during the day, I feel fine, but at night it all comes back until morning. There's also this occasional ringing noise in my left ear, like a beep, and it's around 814kHz or something. It's more obvious when I cover or muffle my ear. Any idea what's going on?

View allI've been dealing with this annoying nose issue ever since I got hit with a football a while back. My nose was bleeding at first, but that was just once and luckily the pain has gone away. But I've been stuck with this cold and a blocked nose, especially the left side, ever since. Ive been using Nosikind 0.1 but it only helps temporarily, and after around 6 to 7 hours, the blockage comes back. At the start, it was super bad, but now its a bit less intense. Still, I haven't seen any real improvement this past week. What should I do next? Any advice?

I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma and need to understand the surgery options traditional tools vs laser-assisted like KTP laser. Which method has lower risks of hearing loss and recurrence? If laser is better, are there experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai who use this technique?
Laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery, particularly using a KTP laser, has shown potential for reduced risks of hearing loss and recurrence compared to traditional methods. KTP lasers can minimize mechanical trauma and help achieve complete disease removal. To find experienced surgeons in Bangalore or Chennai using this technique, research hospitals and clinics specializing in otology (ear, nose, and throat) and inquire about their experience with KTP laser-assisted cholesteatoma surgery.

What can I do?
