I got hit pretty hard on the left side of my head, right by my ear, and I've had a lot of pain. It even started bleeding, and it's still going on. The pain's not as bad now, but I'm feeling really dizzy when I'm just doing normal stuff. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

The severe pain, bleeding, and dizziness after a heavy slap on the head near the ear suggest a possible temporal bone fracture, middle ear injury, or inner ear damage; the persistent bleeding from the ear is a concerning symptom that requires immediate medical attention; seek emergency care from an ENT specialist or a neurosurgeon to evaluate and manage potential complications, such as a cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) leak, meningitis, or hearing loss.

I've been dealing with some ongoing symptoms like forehead pressure, left nose to jaw pressure, and left eye heaviness. My ENT doctor did a CT scan and found a deviated nasal septum, suggesting surgery might help. But then a neurologist prescribed amixide h tablets, which give me relief while I'm taking them the symptoms come back when I stop. I'm really confused could this be a septum issue or maybe something nerve-related? Would love to hear your thoughts on what might be going on.

Your symptoms may be nerve-related if meds help—consider neuro-ENT or imaging re-evaluation.
