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'm experiencing this weird heaviness on the left front side of my face, and sometimes I get pain in my left eye too. It feels worse in the morning. I already got my eyes checked, and they said everything's fine. Could this be something other than an eye issue, like maybe my sinuses or something else? It's just really uncomfortable, and Im worried about what it could be. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this?
You may be experiencing symptoms of a tension headache or migraine. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for relief of head heaviness and pain in the left eye. You can take it every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 3,000-4,000mg in a day. Additionally, you can try using ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg for further pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress to help prevent these symptoms from occurring.

I've been struggling with this sore throat for about a month now, and it's really starting to worry me. I've been on clavam 625 and signoflam for three days, but honestly, I don't see much of a difference. Im also doing steam inhalations and gargling, but those only help for a little while. What do you think I should do next?
Ringing in the ear after earwax removal can be unsettling! *Possible Causes* 1. *Temporary irritation*: Earwax removal can cause temporary irritation, leading to ringing. 2. *Middle ear muscle spasm*: The procedure might have triggered a muscle spasm in the middle ear. 3. *Eustachian tube dysfunction*: The Eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of the throat. Dysfunction can cause ringing. *Remedies* 1. *Wait and observe*: As it's been only 1.5 months, the ringing might resolve on its own. 2. *Ear drops*: Use ear drops like hydrogen peroxide or earwax dissolvers to help soothe the ear. 3. *Relaxation techniques*: Stress can exacerbate tinnitus. Try relaxation techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. *Medical Consultation* 1. *Follow-up with your ENT*: Schedule a follow-up appointment to reassess the situation. 2. *Tinnitus evaluation*: If the ringing persists, ask your ENT about tinnitus evaluation and management options. *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Avoid loud noises*: Protect your hearing by avoiding loud environments. 2. *Manage stress*: Engage in stress-reducing activities to help cope with tinnitus.

My mom has a hole in her eardrum and it's causing a lot of issues. The ENT doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there's any way to heal a ruptured eardrum without going through surgery
Yes, many ruptured eardrums heal on their own without surgery. If the hole is small, it may heal within a few weeks. Even if it doesn't heal on its own, there are other options like patching or ear drop therapy before considering surgery.
