Inflamed sinus following cautery

Hi, I've struggled with sinus pressure on and off my whole life, and nosebleeds. Four weeks ago I had a bad cold with caused a bad nosebleed, which resulted in the nose being cauterized. It got better for about two weeks and since then it's been inflamed on and off. Right now it feels like I've been punched in the nose. On Friday (last week) the doctor said the septum looked inflamed. Any thoughts on how to get the inflammation down???

Lingering inflammation after cauterization

Hi any thoughts on what might help or what might be wrong? Had my nose cauterized about 3 weeks ago after a bad nosebleed, but also had a bad cold. At first it felt okay but there is lingering pain and the doctor says it still looks inflamed. How long does this type of inflammation linger? any ideas on how to help it? Thank you.

Hi everyone. My teen was diagnosed with Hashimotos a year ago after becoming profoundly fatigued following a flu 1.5 years ago. She went from thriving to not being able to get out of bed. She had low iron, low ferritin, low b12, low platelets, elevated MCV. Supplementing with iron, b12, vit D helped a great deal, and going gluten free, and got her out of bed most days. My heart is breaking for her as she's working so hard to figure out triggers. I ran her blood work through AI to establish patterns and given she has zero inflammation ongoing stress and autoimmunity seems to be the cause. Any thoughts here at all on the pattern I'm seeing with this kind of subclinical pernicious anemia pattern? And how do you go from someone who is fine to someone who is not fine? Like her diet was always reasonably good, but now we have to rely on supplements to maintain iron, b12, etc. Females: have your periods also played a role? Thank you for any insight or help.

Overall menopause has been okay for me, and overall I'm very careful with my eating (check my blood sugar with finger poke to double check), have worked hard on cortisol, low inflammatory exercise, all the things. I've worked on ferritin and thyroid. My complaint is an ongoing struggle with fluid retention. Those on HRT, did HRT give you a little "boost"? I feel like I just need a little boost to even things out a bit as I feel like I don't even have a 2% wiggle room in my life. Like everything has to be so perfectly dialed in and perfect, which creates its own stress. Thank you.
