I've been dealing with this heavy feeling in my left eye and the area around it for the past six months and they're often teary. I already saw an eye specialist but they said everything's fine with my eye. Then I went to an ENT and found out it's sinusitis. I'm really curious, can sinusitis really affect eyes like this? And what can I do to cope with it?

Yes, sinusitis can affect the eyes, causing symptoms like heaviness, teary eyes, and pressure around the eyes due to inflammation in the sinus cavities. To cope, treatment may include decongestants, nasal sprays, steam inhalation, and possibly antibiotics if an infection is present. Consult your ENT specialist for further management.

I'm thinking about using sesame oil, like 12 drops daily in each nostril, to help with these annoying dry, hard crusts that keep forming. Is that something safe to do every day? Also, can I use olive oil for my ears, and how often should I be using it? What amount is considered okay?

I've had a swollen uvula for almost a week now, and it's making me cough a lot because it keeps touching my tongue. Drinking hot tea helps a bit, but only for a short time. I'm in 10th standard, and this is making it really hard to read and study. What could be causing this, and what should I do to feel better?

A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) can be a normal response to infection, inflammation, or stress. Given your: - Lymphocytes: 48% (slightly elevated) - Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC): 3312 (within normal range for many labs) It's likely not a cause for concern. However, consult your doctor to: 1. Review your medical history 2. Discuss potential underlying causes 3. Determine if further testing is needed

I've been hearing this strange noise coming from the back of my head, just above my neck, mostly on the right side. It happens when I move my head upwards or try to lean back. Plus, I get this neck pain on the right side whenever I spend too much time looking down. I've had this long-standing sinusitis issue on the right side, and it's been a real troublemaker. My neck hurts, I get headaches on that side, and sometimes even throat issuesall these come and go at random. What could be going on with me?

This needs evaluation,visit ENT doctor for the same and appropriate management
