I'm about 20 days post-SeptoplastyMMA surgery and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start wearing a mask. Should I be looking for any specific type of mask or will any mask work?

Given the persistent symptoms, it's essential to consult a specialist.
Schedule an appointment with an:
- ENT specialist (Ear, Nose, and Throat)
- Gastroenterologist (for potential GERD)
Before the appointment, prepare by:
- Writing down symptoms and duration
- Tracking triggers and relieving factors
- Gathering medical history and previous treatments
A thorough examination and diagnostic tests (e.g., endoscopy, pH monitoring) will help determine the underlying cause.

View allI've been dealing with this feeling like there's mucus stuck in my throat for the last 34 years and it's really frustrating because it happens even in the summer. I tried gargling but that didn't help at all. A few months back I saw an ENT specialist in Ghaziabad, and he said nothing was stuck in my throat. What should I do next?
You can try using an expectorant like Mucinex (guaifenesin) to help thin and loosen the mucus. You can take Mucinex 600mg extended-release tablets once daily with plenty of water. Additionally, you can try using a nasal spray like Flonase (fluticasone) to reduce any post-nasal drip contributing to the sensation. Use Flonase 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. If the issue persists, you may consider a referral to a gastroenterologist for further evaluation of acid reflux as a possible cause of your symptoms.

I'm experiencing some swelling on my uvula and it really hurts at the back of my throat. It kind of feels like there's something stuck in there. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Swelling on the uvula with pain and feeling like something is stuck in your mouth could be due to inflammation or infection. This condition is known as uvulitis. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen and using throat lozenges to soothe the pain. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. Additionally, you can use a throat spray containing benzocaine for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a medical professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Given your medical history and current situation, your doctor has likely prescribed: - Duvadilan Retard 40mg: to relax the uterine muscles and prevent preterm labor - Forcef antibiotic: as a precautionary measure, despite no confirmed urine infection Safety: - Duvadilan: generally considered safe during pregnancy, but monitor for side effects like dizziness or nausea - Forcef antibiotic: likely a broad-spectrum antibiotic; ensure you complete the full course and monitor for any adverse reactions High CRP levels indicate inflammation. Your doctor will likely monitor this closely. Please follow your doctor's guidance and attend regular check-ups to ensure the best possible outcome for you and your baby.
