I've been dealing with sinusitis for years and had a septoplasty back in 2014 for a deviated septum, but I still get frequent sinus headaches and occasional nose blocks. The doctor also recommended functional balloon sinus surgery back then could that help with my ongoing issues or are there other treatments I should consider?

View allI'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.
