I'm a bit concerned because it's been about two weeks since I had sinus surgery, and I'm still not seeing much improvement in my symptoms. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? How much longer might it take before I start to feel better?

Condition persisting for 2 weeks after sinus surgery is not uncommon. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully. To help with the recovery process, you can take pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, and use saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. If you experience any worsening symptoms or concerns, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation.

I'm really unsure about something since my surgery last year to remove a cholesteatoma from my middle ear. I've gotten the all clear from the disease, but I haven't had a follow-up hearing test yet. I'm curious if it's safe for me to use headphones or earphones now. Any advice on that?
