I'm struggling with oral ulcers and I've been using Kenacort gel as my dentist advised. How long do you think it'll take for them to heal? I'm feeling really discouraged since it seems like there's no improvement. Can you give me some advice?

I'm dealing with this mild pain near my left jaw, just below the ear, and it's been happening on and off for about six months now. I saw an ENT specialist, and they had me get an X-ray of my mouth both open and closed, but everything looked normal. I'm starting to wonder what my next move should be. Is this pain something I should be worried about, or is it likely nothing serious?

Generally, 2-3 weeks after septoplasty and MMA surgery, you can start wearing a mask. However, consider the following: - Choose a soft, breathable mask (e.g., cotton or surgical mask) - Avoid tight-fitting masks or N95 masks that may put pressure on your nose - Gently place the mask over your nose and mouth, avoiding excessive tension Consult your surgeon or healthcare provider for personalized advice, as they may have specific recommendations based on your individual situation.
