I've had a cold with a cough for the past 10 days. I've been taking cough syrup, and it seemed to be getting better, but just yesterday, my left side of my face started hurting and I've been feeling really weak. Should I be worried about these new symptoms, or is this something that could still be connected to my cold? What should I do next?

The sudden onset of left-sided facial pain and weakness, following a 10-day cold and cough, could indicate a possible post-viral complication, such as trigeminal neuralgia, facial neuritis, or even a mild stroke; seek immediate medical attention from a primary care physician

I'm really concerned about my sister who has been unable to smell or taste for many years. She only told us about it a few years back, and now she's 25. Do you know if there's any treatment or anything we can do to help her? I'm worried about what this means for her future.

my ct scan shows a deviated nasal septum to the left with left side concavity and hypertrophy of the right inferior nasal turbinate - can this be treated with homeopathy or would surgery be necessary?

A deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy, as shown in your CT scan, are often best addressed with surgical interventions, but homeopathic treatments might be considered for symptom management. Surgery (septoplasty and turbinate reduction) is necessary to physically correct the septum and turbinate size, while homeopathic treatments might provide relief from related symptoms.
