I was on a flight about three weeks ago and had a cold at the time. During the descent, I felt intense pressure in my right ear and it started hurting a lot. I took painkillers for a couple of days and, thankfully, the pain went away, but the pressure hasn't gotten back to normal since. I've tried blowing out or sucking in after pinching my nose, but nothing seems to work. I'm really worried about it. Could you offer some advice on what I should do next?

I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and cold last week and, thankfully, that's all cleared up. But now I'm dealing with this really unpleasant musty smell coming from my nose. It's really bothering me, and I just want it to go away as soon as possible. Can you suggest what might be causing this and how I can get rid of it?

Rinse your nose with normal saline,take cetrizine tablet for 3 days, maintain hygiene,if it's still there, visit ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with really bad sinus issues for the past few days, and it's causing intense headaches, especially on the left side of my face. The pain is pretty severe, and even though I saw a doctor who prescribed meds, nothing's helping. They mentioned sinus surgery as an option do you perform that? I also have insurance and wanted to check if it's covered. What do you think I should do next?

Intense, left-sided headaches accompanied by sinus issues could indicate a sinus infection or other sinus-related conditions. To manage these symptoms, try saline nasal sprays, warm compresses, and steam inhalation. If symptoms worsen or persist, consult a doctor.
