I had DNS surgery two days ago and now I'm getting mild to moderate pain right in the center of my forehead when I press there, sometimes even without pressing. There's also pain behind my eyes and my nose feels really dry inside. Is this normal after surgery or should I be worried?

Yes, experiencing mild to moderate pain in your forehead, behind your eyes, and a dry nose after DNS surgery is generally normal within the first few days post-operation. This is often due to inflammation, swelling, and the healing process of the tissues

Is this a silly question? I'm just curious because I know we have two main pipes in our throat, you know, the windpipe and the food pipe. So is the windpipe on the right side or the left side? And what about the food pipe, is it on the left or right? Sorry if this sounds dumb, just really curious!

The windpipe, also known as the trachea, is located in the midline of the neck and chest, so it is not on the right or left side specifically. The food pipe, or esophagus, is also located in the midline of the body, behind the windpipe. So neither the windpipe nor the food pipe is specifically on the right or left side of the body.

I've noticed that when I'm sleeping, it feels like there's less airflow through my right nostril compared to the left. Could there be some kind of blockage causing this? It's been a bit bothersome, so I'm curious about what might be going on.

Budesonide 200 inhaler sos for breathing difficulty is advised to the patient.
