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 just got my NCCT scan results for the PNS area, and I'm kinda worried. It says there's mucosal thickening in the sphenoid sinus and along the walls of my bilateral maxillary sinuses. Also, the posterior air cells of my bilateral ethmoidal sinuses are affected, and the bilateral ostiomeatal units are compromised due to mucosal thickening at the hiatus semilunaris. Should I be concerned about this?

This is a condition called sinusitis,no need to worry just follow your doctors advice ,avoid cool foods and cold weathers there is nothing to worry.

I've had a deviated septum for years and now I'm starting to have breathing problems because of it. I don't have any infections or other diseases. Can anyone recommend a good septoplasty surgeon in Jaipur? Also, will insurance cover this surgery? It's getting pretty urgent
