How hard did you think I got hit to cause this much damage? I mean, my nose broke in two places and my sinus cavity, eye socket, and cleft palate got slightly damaged too. I was sent to a plastic surgeon for some medical plastics or something, and when I breathe in or drink, my cheek feels cold. I'm just trying to understand the impact it must've taken to do all this.

It sounds like you sustained significant trauma to your face. The extent of the damage suggests a forceful impact. In this case, the plastic surgeon may prescribe pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. For pain relief, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Antibiotics like Amoxicillin 500mg can be taken every 8 hours to prevent infection. It is important to follow up with your plastic surgeon for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about my toe since I had the toenail removed. It's been a week now, and the pain hasn't gone away. I make sure to get alternate dressings, but I'm worried that this isn't normal. Is there something else I should be doing, or is this typical for toenail removal recovery?
Potential Reasons for Persistent Pain 1. Infection: Bacterial or fungal infections can cause pain, redness, and swelling. 2. Nerve damage: The nerve endings in your toe may be irritated or damaged during the procedure. 3. Incomplete healing: The wound may not be healing properly, leading to ongoing pain. 4. Pressure or friction: Ill-fitting shoes or socks may be causing pressure or friction on the affected toe. 4. Keep the wound clean and dry: Continue with alternate dressing and ensure the wound is cleaned and dried properly. 5. Elevate your foot: Whenever possible, elevate your foot above the level of your heart to reduce swelling. 6. Wear comfortable shoes: Choose shoes that fit well and don't put pressure on the affected toe. and take pain killer and if there are any signs of infections then take antibiotics also
