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've been having a bitter taste in my mouth whenever I cough, but there's no blood in the phlegm. I've also got on-and-off congestion and a stuffy nose. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
You may be experiencing symptoms of post-nasal drip. To help with the bitter taste in your mouth and congestion, you can try using an over-the-counter antihistamine like loratadine (Claritin) 10mg once daily. Additionally, you can use a nasal decongestant spray like oxymetazoline (Afrin) 2-3 sprays in each nostril every 12 hours as needed for congestion. Make sure to stay hydrated and consider using a humidifier to help with your symptoms.

I'm dealing with vertigo and I'm not sure whether I should see an ENT specialist or a neurologist, or maybe even both. Can you help me figure out which one would be more appropriate for my symptoms? Also, is this condition harmful or something I shouldn't be too worried about? I'm curious if it's something that can be treated with just medicine or exercises. Is surgery sometimes necessary for this kind of issue?
If you are experiencing vertigo which is triggered by positional changes, such as whilst getting up from a lying down position, or whilst turning your head quickly, you should consult an ENT specialist in order to rule out BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo). If your vertigo is triggered at random, without any particular change in position, you should consult a neurologist for further evaluation.
