I've got this infection on my tongue, and it feels like I've bitten both sides of it. It's been going on for almost a week now, and I'm in pain. What do you think I should do?

I recommend using an antifungal medication like clotrimazole oral troches. You can dissolve one troche slowly in your mouth five times a day for about two weeks. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid spicy or acidic foods that may irritate your tongue further.

I'm having a really bad toothache and got a ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet to help with the pain. Is it okay if I just let it dissolve in my mouth instead of swallowing it? I'm just a bit unsure about the right way to take it.
Yes, you can take Ketorol 10mg dispersible tablet by allowing it to dissolve in your mouth. For severe toothache, you can take one tablet by mouth every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure not to chew or swallow the tablet whole, let it dissolve in your mouth. Remember to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I'm dealing with this mild pain near my left jaw, just below the ear, and it's been happening on and off for about six months now. I saw an ENT specialist, and they had me get an X-ray of my mouth both open and closed, but everything looked normal. I'm starting to wonder what my next move should be. Is this pain something I should be worried about, or is it likely nothing serious?
Generally, 2-3 weeks after septoplasty and MMA surgery, you can start wearing a mask. However, consider the following: - Choose a soft, breathable mask (e.g., cotton or surgical mask) - Avoid tight-fitting masks or N95 masks that may put pressure on your nose - Gently place the mask over your nose and mouth, avoiding excessive tension Consult your surgeon or healthcare provider for personalized advice, as they may have specific recommendations based on your individual situation.
