I've been dealing with some pain on the left side of my forehead, right above my eyebrow, for about a month now. Sometimes I notice a little bit of blood in my snot too. On top of that, I often feel like I need to sneeze, but I just can't seem to. What could be going on? Should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing sinusitis. I recommend taking a combination of ibuprofen and pseudoephedrine to help with the pain and congestion. You can take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6-8 hours as needed for pain, and Pseudoephedrine 60mg every 4-6 hours as needed for congestion. Additionally, using a saline nasal spray can help with the blood in your snot and the urge to sneeze. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.

Can Ayurveda really cure sinus issues permanently or is surgery the only option left if treatments don't work? I've been struggling with recurring sinus problems and want to explore natural remedies before considering surgery. What are the best Ayurvedic treatments for chronic sinusitis?
Yes, sinusitis, or sinus infections, can often be treated and cured without surgery. Many cases resolve with home remedies, over-the-counter medications, and sometimes antibiotics if the infection is bacterial. Surgery is typically reserved for chronic or severe cases where non-surgical treatments have been ineffective

My eardrum ruptured six months ago from using a cotton swab and still hasn't healed. There's some mild pain but no pus. Is it normal for it to take this long to heal or would I need surgery?
