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?

My doctor recommended sinus surgery costing around 30k but I'm wondering if laser treatment could be an option instead what's the average cost for that and would it work for my condition?
Laser sinus treatment, also known as Radiofrequency Turbinate Reduction (RTR) or Laser Turbinate Reduction, can be a viable alternative to sinus surgery for some individuals, and the average cost can range from Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 40,000. While laser treatment may be effective for certain conditions, it's essential to discuss your specific case with your doctor to determine if it's appropriate and if it will address your particular sinus issues
