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.

I'm having a lot of pain when I press on my tragus, antitragus, or anywhere in between, and it's been going on since Wednesday. It even wakes me up when I'm sleeping, because it just suddenly starts hurting at random times during the day too. I'm really worried about it. What could be causing this?
