I've been waking up with my right ear blocked every morning for the last 45 days, but it seems to clear up for the rest of the day. It feels similar to when your ears get blocked on an airplane. A little jaw movement sometimes helps a bit. I'm starting to worry if it could be something serious. Any ideas about what's going on with my ear?

My 9-year-old has been struggling with tonsillitis for the past week and it's been really tough. Can you tell me more about what the surgery involves for kids this age? I'm worried about how it works and what recovery looks like for them.
It's tough to see your child struggling, but tonsillitis usually resolves on its own within a week or two, especially if it's viral. If your child's condition doesn't improve or if they have any concerning symptoms (like difficulty breathing or swallowing), it's best to consult a doctor

I got a fracture in my sinus bone with a displaced nose bone and nasal septum - the doctor recommended surgery for both. Is surgery really necessary or are there other options? What's the recovery like if I go through with it?
Fractured sinus with displacement often needs surgery—recovery is 2–4 weeks post-op.
