I've had this cold and cough going on since last Thursday, and my doctor put me on Azitab 500 for five days. I took a Covid test on Monday, and thankfully it came back negative. But now, since Tuesday, I can't smell or taste anything properly. It's frustrating because all I can taste is this constant sour flavor. Do you think I should get tested for Covid again?

I recently got into a fight and ended up being slapped really hard, like twice or thrice on the left side of my face, near my ear and cheek, and close to my eye area. Right after, I had some bleeding inside my mouth, probably from biting down with my teeth. The next morning, I noticed a ringing in my ear, but there wasn't any pain. I'm struggling to hear as well out of that ear compared to the other one. There's also some swelling on my face. I'm guessing my hearing is around 50 to 60 percent, but it's just a rough estimate. Should I be worried about this? What do you think is going on with my ear and hearing?

I've been diagnosed with a deviated septum to the right side and concha bullosa on the right as well. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. What are the risks if I don't get it done, and how much would surgery actually help my symptoms?

If your deviated septum and concha bullosa aren't causing significant breathing problems, sleep disturbances, or other quality-of-life issues, surgery might not be necessary, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, if symptoms are bothersome, surgery can offer significant relief with good success rates.
