Can I still hit the gym with a deviated septum or should I wait until after my laser surgery this year I'm worried it might make breathing harder during workouts
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's generally recommended to wait until after your deviated septum surgery to resume strenuous exercise, like hitting the gym, to allow for proper healing and minimize the risk of complications like bleeding. The severity of the deviation and the type of surgery will influence the recovery timeline, but it's usually best to avoid vigorous activity for at least a few weeks

View allI've been having this cough on and off where I feel like something's stuck in my throat. Sometimes, when I cough, there are these tiny clear balls that come up. Its not constant, but it keeps coming back every few days, and I'm really tired of it. What could be causing this, and how can I get it to stop?
Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.

I've been dealing with a deviated septum, nasal polyps, and a dust allergy that makes me sneeze nonstop and blocks my nose completely. Could the dust allergy be making the polyps worse over time? The congestion is so bad I can barely breathe or sleep, and OTC sprays give me rebound congestion but I feel stuck using them. I'm also noticing I can't smell mild scents as well anymore. Is surgery like septoplasty or polyp removal my only option, or are there non-surgical treatments I could try first? If I do need surgery, how long would recovery take?
yes septoplasty is advised, recovery is around 4-6 weeks.
