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 had my ears blocked for the past 4 days, and I think it might be due to a cold I had. Not completely sure, though. It sometimes feels like there's water or some fluid in there, and occasionally, when I sneeze, the blockage goes away for a few seconds, but then it comes back. There's a little pain too, which is why I've been taking oxalgin tablets and using drep ear drops. What could be causing this, and should I be doing something different?

It sounds like you may be experiencing Eustachian tube dysfunction due to your recent cold. To help relieve the blockage and pain in your ears, I recommend taking a decongestant like Sudafed (pseudoephedrine) to help reduce the swelling in the Eustachian tubes. You can also try using a nasal spray like Afrin (oxymetazoline) to further reduce congestion. Additionally, continue using the Otrivin ear drops for relief. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions for each medication. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed this tiny round lump on the bottom right side of my neck. It's not painful at all, which seems odd to me, but I'm just worried since it showed up suddenly and only on one side. Should I be worried about this? What might it be?
