I've been dealing with sinusitis and just got my report should I be worried about anything? Does it look like I might need surgery for this?

Sinusitis surgery is needed if there's nasal polyps, severe blockage, or repeated infections—CT scan helps assess severity and guide treatment.

I've been noticing blood in the mucus from my left nostril for the past two days, but the right nostril doesn't have any mucus at all. I'm not experiencing any other symptoms like a cough. Although, I did have a headache about a week ago, but that's gone now. Should I be worried about this? What could it be?

I've been having this sore throat for the past day, and it really hurts when I sleep or take a sip of water. It's pretty uncomfortable and I'm starting to worry a bit. Could this be a sign of something I should be concerned about, or maybe something I need to do to make it better?

Throat pain that worsens during sleep and while drinking water could be due to inflammation or infection. I recommend taking ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (e.g., Cepacol) to help numb the throat. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If the pain persists for more than a few days or if you develop other symptoms, please follow up with a healthcare provider.

I've got a clogged ear that's making me feel really uneasy, and there's no pain, but it feels like some air is trapped in there. I had a cold about a week ago. Should I be worried? What can I do to feel better?
