I had LASIK surgery 3 years ago but now I'm having pain in my left eye and the upper part around my eyebrow. Multiple ophthalmologists say everything looks fine and suggested I see an ENT for possible sinusitis. Could this eye and brow pain actually be from a sinus infection?

Persistent pain post-LASIK may suggest sinus-related issues; an ENT consultation is appropriate for sinusitis evaluation.

I'm having this constant pain in my ear canal after I scratched it and a doctor used hydrogen peroxide to clean it. My mom suggested using warm ghee and turmeric, but it's still hurting a lot. I'm really worried because seeing a doctor nearby is super pricey. What else can I do to help with the pain?

Use antibiotic ear drops such as Ciplox-D ear drops. You can instill 4 drops into the affected ear 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Additionally, you can take a pain reliever like Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours to help with the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep your ear dry and avoid inserting anything into the ear canal. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention.

I'm a bit confused about something and hope you can help. Can a deviated nasal septum actually cause chest pain? Also, if someone has DNS but their oxygen saturation levels are good, should they still be worried? Would love some clarity!

DNS has nothing to do with chest pain generally. Please have your chest pain evaluated in detail.
