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.

I had a bike accident about 5 days back. I've got some rashes on my left hand and there's an injury above my left eye, plus my eye got a little hurt too. A couple of days ago, I noticed some blood in my sputum when I was clearing my throat in the evening, and the same thing happened the next two mornings. I'm kind of worried. What could be going on?

I'm really worried because I've got a hole in my eardrum, and the doctor mentioned surgery. Is there any other way to fix it without having to go through an operation? I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer on this.

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
