Question 1

my nose feels bent and I can even feel the bone is slightly crooked too is there any way to straighten it without surgery maybe with medicines or would I need an operation and are there any risks or side effects I should know about

Accepted Answer

If your nose feels bent or the bone seems crooked, it could be a deviated septum or a broken nose, and straightening it without surgery is unlikely. If it's a deviated septum, surgery (septoplasty) may be needed, and if it's a broken nose, it requires immediate medical attention, including the possibility of surgical repair.

Question 2

I'm curious about something that's been bothering me. Whenever I sneeze, I notice a metallic taste in my mouth, almost like blood, and it comes with dizziness, facial pain, abdominal pain, and nausea. It's pretty concerning. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?

Accepted Answer

You might be having Sinusitis, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I've been dealing with constant ear blockages and this uncomfortable feeling in my throat and chest ever since I got over COVID three months ago. It's weird because whenever I try to spit, I get this sharp pain in my ear, throat, and chest all at once. I feel like there's something stuck in my throat, and it's getting hard to breathe sometimes. Could this be related to post-COVID symptoms? I also had anxiety and palpitations after COVID and was on ivabradine and Nexito Plus. Any idea what's going on with me?

Accepted Answer

The pain under the left side of the tongue could be due to:

1. Sublingual gland infection or inflammation
2. Salivary gland stone
3. Lingual tonsillitis
4. Trauma or injury
5. Oral cancer (rarely)

Consult an ENT specialist or an oral surgeon for a thorough evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend:

1. Imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan)
2. Biopsy or fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC)
3. Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications

I've been diagnosed with a hole in my eardrum and have liquid discharge along with ear fullness. My general physician recommended surgery but I'm a bit nervous can you tell me more about the costs, possible side effects, and what precautions I should take after the procedure?

COST depends on dr and hospital.
