I just had ear wax removal today. The doctor gave me ear drops to use for a week, and then they took care of the wax manually. It wasn't painful, but now I'm feeling some pressure and pain in my ear. Is this something that usually happens afterward? The doctor mentioned Calpol and Zoxwax drops, and also prescribed an Allrite DC tablet. I'm wondering how long I might feel this way.

I'm in the research field studying chemistry and recently I've been having some issues. My nose has been really dry and I'm also experiencing dry blood, which is quite painful, especially in the mornings. Could any doctors provide advice on how to deal with this?

Humidification and hydration are key to relieving nasal dryness. Saline sprays, nasal gels, and petroleum jelly can help soothe and moisturize your nasal passages. If the problem persists or worsens, consulting a doctor, especially an ENT specialist, is recommended.

I've been dealing with sinus issues for the past year and my doctor recommended septoplasty surgery. I'm a bit worried is this procedure really 100% curable? What can I expect in terms of recovery and long-term results?

Septoplasty is not a 100% guarantee for a cure, but it has a high success rate in improving nasal airflow and sinus issues. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, and long-term results can be permanent, but some patients may experience lingering issues or complications
