Question 1

My nose has been slightly bent to the right since I was born. Is there anything I can do to fix it without surgery? What options do I have besides going under the knife?

Accepted Answer

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

Question 2

I've been diagnosed with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia for the past couple of months. I'm really concerned and wondering if it's something that can be cured on its own, or if surgery might be necessary. Could you provide some insights on this?

Accepted Answer

Surgery (usually in the form of a biopsy or excision) may be considered if:
The swelling persists for a long time without improvement or becomes very large.
The doctor suspects there might be another cause (like lymphoma or another serious condition).
The lymph nodes are causing other physical symptoms (such as difficulty swallowing, breathing, or other issues due to the pressure they cause).

Question 3

I've been having some discomfort around my jaw, right beneath my left ear lobe. It's not constant, but I really notice it when I press on it. There's no issue when I'm talking or opening my mouth wide, and it doesn't hurt when I swallow either. What could this be? Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

That could be TM joint pain or muscle catch,no need to worry give some time it will self adjust,do not attempt to massage the area,if its becoming worse visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I had a road accident and ended up with a longitudinal temporal bone fracture and LMN facial palsy. I've attached my CT scan do you think conservative treatment would work or would I need surgery?
