I've been dealing with polypoidal thickening in my maxillary sinuses for about 4 months now. There's this constant tightness behind my left eye, cheek, and ears, along with some stiffness in the left side of my neck and headaches on the left side of my head. I'm really concerned about whether this could be something serious or life-threatening. Any insights?

Based on your symptoms and MRI findings, it seems like you are experiencing symptoms related to sinusitis. To help reduce the inflammation and relieve your symptoms, you can try using a nasal corticosteroid spray like Flonase (fluticasone) 2 sprays in each nostril once daily. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for headache relief. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your sinus condition.

View allOne side of my tonsil has an open pocket where food keeps getting stuck and forms yellowish tonsil stones. I have to remove them manually but there's no swelling. I don't want surgery are there any ayurvedic treatments to help close this pocket?
While Ayurvedic practices can help manage tonsil stones and associated symptoms, they generally don't address the underlying structure of the tonsils, including the "pocket" you describe. Addressing a specific structural issue like a tonsil pocket might require more specialized medical interventions, and Ayurveda is not a substitute for conventional medical care in such cases.

I'm really concerned because I had tympanoplasty surgery 20 days ago, and my doctor has strictly advised me not to cough for 2 months. It's really hard to avoid coughing completely. I've been trying everythinglike taking steam, drinking turmeric water or milk, gargling with salt water, only drinking hot water, and staying away from cold foods. But I'm still coughing a bit and it's stressing me out. Is there anything else I can try to help with this?
