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?

View allI'm a bit concerned because it's been about two weeks since I had sinus surgery, and I'm still not seeing much improvement in my symptoms. Is it normal to still be feeling this way? How much longer might it take before I start to feel better?
Condition persisting for 2 weeks after sinus surgery is not uncommon. Recovery time can vary depending on the individual and the extent of the surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's post-operative instructions carefully. To help with the recovery process, you can take pain medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain, and use saline nasal spray to keep the nasal passages moist. If you experience any worsening symptoms or concerns, it is important to follow up with your surgeon for further evaluation.

My brother recently got a CT scan for his sinus problem and ear hole issue, and the doctor is recommending surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost?
It's understandable to want to explore all treatment options before considering surgery. For sinus issues and ear hole problems, non-surgical approaches can be effective in some cases. The cost of surgery can vary significantly, but generally, expect sinus surgery to range from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000 in India. Ear hole problems like tympanic membrane perforations might require tympanoplasty surgery, which can range from Rs. 30,000 to over Rs. 1 lakh, depending on the procedure and hospital

I was dealing with nasal congestion and ear pain, and my doctor prescribed Lasma Ab for two weeks. Unfortunately, I couldn't follow up with the doctor afterward, so I've been continuing the medication. My nasal congestion seems to have improved, but I'm a bit worried. Could taking Lasma Ab for an extra two weeks do any harm?
If you have already taken Lasma AB for four weeks instead of the prescribed two, it is important to stop the medication and contact your doctor to assess whether any adjustments or further actions are needed.
