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

I'm really struggling with this whole not smoking thing after my tonsil removal. I've been smoking about 15 cigarettes a day, and now the past couple of days without them are just killing me. The NRT options aren't helping much either. My doctor mentioned something about my bleeding risk going from 2 to 3 if I smoke, but that doesn't entirely make sense to me. I'm trying to find out what the absolute minimum time is before I can start smoking again. Honestly, quitting for good isn't an option for me, and going two weeks without smoking seems nearly impossible. Any advice?
no you have to quit smoking

I'm having an issue with my uvula. It seems unusually long and stretched out, and feels almost like there's something stuck in my throat when there isn't. Sometimes it makes me gag randomly. Is this something I should be worried about?
Elongation of uvula usually occurs secondary to chronic irritation which can be caused by reflux laryngopharyngitis which is type of acidity related disorder or recurrent injuries caused by irritants such as smoking and alcohol. Treatment of the primary problem is necessary
