I've had chronic sinusitis and had DNS surgery twice, but I still feel heavy movement in my forehead and eyebrows, especially on the left side. Right now I'm taking levocetrizine hydrochloride 5mg and ambroxol hcl 60mg tablets, which have helped a bit with the dullness. Can I increase the dose to twice a day? I'm worried about side effects because last time I tried that, I had sinus congestion and discharge

It's generally not recommended to increase the dosage of levocetrizine or ambroxol without consulting a doctor, especially since you've experienced side effects with higher doses in the past. Increased doses of these medications could exacerbate those side effects or have other unforeseen consequences. allergy medicines might lessen allergy symptoms of sinusitis caused by allergies

I'm trying to understand a recent report I got. It mentions "mild DNS toward the right" and "bilateral concha bullosa," plus something about "pneumatization of the left anterior clenoid process" being an anatomical variant. Can you help me make sense of what these terms mean for my health? Should I be worried about any of this?

If you're experiencing symptoms like nasal obstruction, sinus infections, or facial pressure, you may benefit from: Medical treatment: Nasal sprays, antihistamines, or decongestants. Surgical evaluation: If symptoms persist, consult an ENT specialist. Procedures like septoplasty or turbinate reduction might be considered.

I've had septoplasty and IT reduction surgery about four days ago, and I'm trying to figure out the best diet to follow during recovery. What foods should I eat or avoid to help with healing? I'm concerned about doing everything I can to ensure a smooth recovery. Any advice would be great!

Its been 4 days soo it might have healed,no need to worry,consume protien rich diet,avoid chewing hard things and do warm saline nasal wash twice a day and follow your doctors advice
