I'm really struggling with sinus issues and just wanted some advice. For the past couple of months, I've been having this pain on the left side of my forehead that goes down to my nose. There's also this yellowish, smelly discharge that keeps coming from the left side of my nose. I just had a CTPNS done and it showed moderate mucosal thickening in my left maxillary sinus, causing about 70 to 80% of air space to opacify, and it's reaching into the middle meatus through the maxillary ostium. There's also some moderate thickening in the bilateral ethmoid air cells and mild thickening in the bilateral frontal sphenoid sinuses. I've got bilateral concha bullosa with secondary mucosal thickening too. I've been on medication for the past 15 days things like Augmentin 625, Allegra M, Defza 6mg, Ezicas nasal spray, and Enzoflam. They help for a bit, but after 7 to 8 hours, the symptoms just come back. What do you suggest I do now?

View allI'm having this persistent pain on the left side of my throat that started last May. I had an endoscopy, but nothing showed up. The pain eased for a while, but now it's back. It's really painful under my tongue, especially deep on the left side, almost like a sore. The rest of my tongue feels fine. I'm kind of worried and just need to understand what might be going on. Can you help me figure this out?
A lump between the ear and jaw can be concerning! Given your age and symptoms, possible causes include: 1. *Lymphadenitis*: Inflamed lymph nodes due to infection (e.g., ear, throat, or dental issues). 2. *Parotid gland swelling*: Inflammation of the parotid gland, which can be caused by infection, blockage, or trauma. 3. *Abscess or cyst*: A collection of pus or fluid that can cause pain and swelling. It's essential to consult a doctor, preferably an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist, for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend: 1. Physical examination 2. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) 3. Blood tests to check for infection or inflammation In the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area to help reduce pain and discomfort.

My vertigo issue hasn't gotten any better, and I'm not seeing any improvement. You mentioned I should avoid exercises, so I've been steering clear of them. What could be causing this, and is there anything else I should be doing to help with it? I'm feeling a bit stuck and would love some guidance on next steps.
Vertigo can be a challenging condition to manage. Since you are not seeing any improvement and avoiding exercises as advised, I recommend trying medication to help alleviate your symptoms. You can try taking Betahistine (brand name Serc) at a dosage of 16 mg three times a day. This medication can help reduce the frequency and severity of vertigo episodes. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
