I'm dealing with this headache that feels more like intense pressure, especially at the back of my head behind the ears on both sides. Bending over makes it worse, spreading the pressure to my forehead. I had mucus thickening in my sphenoid, maxillary, and ethmoid sinuses about 34 months ago. I was previously recommended to use Azeflo nasal spray, which I haven't used in a while, but I tried it today and it didn't help. I don't have a runny nose or cold symptoms right now. Do you think this might be a sinus issue, and should I see an ENT specialist, or would it be better to consult a physician first?

View allI've been experiencing a problem lately. After wearing a mask for 12 hours, I've noticed my nose starts bleeding, but everything seems normal when I'm not wearing it. What could be causing this issue? Could the mask be affecting something with my nose?
Nosebleeds can be triggered by various factors, and wearing a mask for an extended period of time can lead to dryness and irritation of the nasal passages, making them more prone to bleeding. To help prevent nosebleeds while wearing a mask, you can use a saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. Additionally, you can apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils before putting on the mask to help protect the delicate nasal skin.

I've been diagnosed with vocal cord nodules through endoscopy, and my voice isn't sounding right. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm really worried can this be treated without surgery? I work in sales, so my voice is important. If surgery is necessary, could you suggest a good ENT surgeon in Delhi? Also, will my voice recover fully after the surgery? I've attached a picture of my vocal cord nodules for reference.
Vocal cord nodules can often be managed without surgery through voice therapy and behavioral changes. If voice therapy isn't successful, surgery might be necessary, but most people with nodules can achieve good results with non-surgical methods. Many factors can influence recovery, including the severity of the nodules, individual healing rates, and adherence to post-operative care

I've been having some trouble with my nose and noticed this yellowish thing inside, which I guess might be a polyp. I remember a doctor mentioning back in 2018 that I had polyps and might need surgery. But now, when I look in the mirror, I can really see it there, and it's tough to breathe through that nostril. When I try to inhale hard, it feels like something's vibrating near it. Do you think surgery is the only way to fix this, or is there a chance medication could help?
Surgical excisiion is the only solution,do not delay get it removed because that could lead to Sinusitis
