Health Queries

I had a fracture in my nasal bone, and there is some discharge coming from it. Is this normal, or do I need to get it checked?

Vikas Singh

Vikas Singh

M Pharmacy

Discharge after a nasal bone fracture is not always normal and may suggest infection or delayed healing. Mild, clear discharge can occur, but if it is persistent, foul-smelling, or associated with pain or fever, it needs attention. Keep the area clean and avoid touching or putting pressure on the nose. It is important to consult a doctor to rule out infection and ensure proper healing.

I have been diagnosed with frozen shoulder. What are the effective treatment options to relieve pain and improve shoulder movement?

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Frozen shoulder usually improves gradually but may take several months. Treatment focuses on pain relief and restoring movement. Gentle physiotherapy and regular shoulder stretching exercises are the most important steps. You may use warm compresses and take pain relievers as prescribed for discomfort. Early and consistent physiotherapy gives the best results, so avoid keeping the shoulder completely immobile.

I have been experiencing pain in my left jaw for the past 3 days. I also have acidity issues. There is no tooth pain, but it hurts whenever I try to open my mouth. How should I manage it?

G.santoshini Reddy

G.santoshini Reddy

M Pharmacy (Pharmaceutics)

Pain in the left jaw while opening the mouth, without tooth pain, is often due to jaw joint (TMJ) strain, muscle spasm, or teeth clenching rather than acidity. Try giving your jaw rest (avoid wide opening, hard foods, chewing gum), apply warm compresses 2-3 times daily, and do gentle jaw relaxation exercises. If pain persists beyond a few days, consult a dentist or doctor for proper evaluation.

Two months of left knee pain could be caused by ligament tension, arthritis, or cartilage deterioration. Knee and back discomfort might be caused by nerve compression, spinal disorders, or poor posture. The cause can be found and treated with the use of an orthopedic evaluation, an X-ray or MRI if necessary, and physiotherapy.
