I've been dealing with a DNS issue for a long time and have had multiple surgeries, but it's still not fixed. I visited Apollo Hospital, and the doctor recommended another surgery. My DNS is deviated to the right side, blocking my right nostril, making it hard to breathe properly. Because of this, I feel like my body isn't getting enough oxygen, so I end up breathing quickly or panting. Is surgery the only option, or are there other treatments that could help?

I've had these Circumvallate papillae for about 5 years, and just last Thursday, after dinner, I noticed some new bumps forming behind them. I'm not someone who smokes or drinks. I even attached a couple of images for you to seethe first highlights these bumps in red, located right behind the junction of the Circumvallate papillae, and the second should help pinpoint exactly where they are. It's tough to get an appointment with an ENT right now. I'm just wondering, does this sound normal to you, or should I be worried enough to try harder to see a doctor? I'm dealing with anxiety over this and it's affecting my sleep. I'm really hoping you can help me understand what's going on.

To help reduce inflammation and alleviate any discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a mouth rinse containing chlorhexidine to help with any potential infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics or other medications.

I'm experiencing this weird heaviness on the left front side of my face, and sometimes I get pain in my left eye too. It feels worse in the morning. I already got my eyes checked, and they said everything's fine. Could this be something other than an eye issue, like maybe my sinuses or something else? It's just really uncomfortable, and Im worried about what it could be. Could you give me some advice on what might be causing this?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a tension headache or migraine. I recommend taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for relief of head heaviness and pain in the left eye. You can take it every 4-6 hours as needed, but do not exceed 3,000-4,000mg in a day. Additionally, you can try using ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg for further pain relief. Make sure to stay hydrated, get enough rest, and manage stress to help prevent these symptoms from occurring.
