How long does recovery usually take after concha bullosa surgery I'm considering it because of breathing issues headaches and trouble focusing while reading I heard it's a minor endoscopic procedure but I'm worried about taking time off work since I just started a new job Would I be okay to go back to work by Monday if I have the surgery on Saturday or is two days too soon for recovery

Recovery after concha bullosa surgery, especially a minor endoscopic procedure, usually takes a few days to a week, but full recovery might take longer. While some patients can return to work within a few days, others may experience mild discomfort for a few days after surgery. Two days after a Saturday surgery (by Monday) is likely too soon for most, and it's best to err on the side of caution and allow more time for recovery.

I've been feeling this full pain behind my upper lip and front teeth, and I've noticed that half of my right nasal passage feels congested. But here's the thingI'm not showing any other cold symptoms. My nose isn't runny, there's no drainage, and I'm not coughing or dealing with a sore throat. I feel a little pain starting to go towards my ears, but there's no pain above my middle nose and nothing's going on in that creek area. Any idea what might be going on with me?

I was blowing my nose and I noticed something blocking my nostrils. When I checked, it looked like a piece of flesh and Im thinking it might be nasal polyps. Its really close to my external nostril. Should I be worried? What should I do next?
