Just tried looking up if it’s safe to light a fireplace fire after having had a sinus surgery. (It’s very cold here in Seattle tonight and I had septoplasty/FESS/turbinate reduction yesterday afternoon.)

All my results were about smoking cigarettes and a result for whether it’s okay to box after surgery. Not a single source to suggest a fire being safe or not.

This is why I use Bing Chat for specific questions.

"Hello, this is Bing. I’m sorry to hear that you had sinus surgery and that you’re feeling cold. 😟

According to some sources, it’s best to avoid exposure to smoke, dust, and other irritants after sinus surgery, as they can interfere with the healing process and cause inflammation. Therefore, lighting a fireplace fire may not be a good idea for your recovery."

Bing Chat provides sources to the claims so you can verify:

That is really good to know! Thanks so much for the heads up on this! Never knew this was a thing.

You can also use perplexity.ai if Bing ai is not your cup of tea.

Was just going to say, I've been defaulting to perplexity way more recently. It is really good (even the free tier)
