I'm trying to understand a recent report I got. It mentions "mild DNS toward the right" and "bilateral concha bullosa," plus something about "pneumatization of the left anterior clenoid process" being an anatomical variant. Can you help me make sense of what these terms mean for my health? Should I be worried about any of this?

If you're experiencing symptoms like nasal obstruction, sinus infections, or facial pressure, you may benefit from:
Medical treatment: Nasal sprays, antihistamines, or decongestants. Surgical evaluation: If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist. Procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction might be considered.

View allI'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?

I'm feeling really uncomfortable because I gargled too much with salt water about a week ago, and now my throat is all scratchy and looks white inside. I've taken some meds, but they havent helped at all. My lips are super dry, and I've even lost my sense of taste. I dont have any cough, cold, or fever, but this throat issue is making me feel really uneasy. When I look in the mirror, my throat looks all patchy and it even burns inside. I'm really concerned about this because I've never felt anything like it before. Any idea whats going on or what I should do?
It sounds like the excessive saltwater gargling might have irritated your throat, leading to dryness and discomfort. To help, try drinking plenty of water, avoid further saltwater gargles, and use a humidifier to keep the air moist. If the burning sensation and dryness persist, a throat soothing lozenge or mild throat spray may help. If symptoms continue, it would be wise to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing a loss of smell and taste over the last two days, but I don't really have any other symptoms. There's a very mild cold, but it doesn't feel like a regular cold at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it nothing to worry about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing mild symptoms of a cold. To help with your loss of smell and taste, you can try using a nasal decongestant spray like Afrin. You can also take an antihistamine like Claritin to help with any congestion. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging for both medications. Anosmia is also a common symptom of Covid-19 infection. It is advisable to do an RT-PCR test to confirm, and then follow appropriate isolation protocols.
