How long does it usually take to recover from septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction surgery I'm feeling a bit nervous about the downtime and when I can get back to normal activities
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Recovery from septoplasty with inferior turbinate reduction surgery typically takes a few weeks, with full healing potentially taking a few months. You'll likely be able to resume most normal activities within a week, but some strenuous activities might need to be avoided for longer.

View allI'm dealing with ear wax buildup and recently bought some Clearwater ear drops. I'm wondering, how many days should I be using these drops before considering a visit to the doctor to get my ears cleared out? I'm a bit anxious because I don't want to overuse the drops or postpone the doctor's appointment if it's necessary. Any advice on this?
-You can use Clearwater ear drops for 3-5 days to soften the ear wax before visiting a doctor. If there's no improvement, or if you experience discomfort, it's best to see a doctor for safe removal.

I keep getting these small whitish yellow stones on my tonsils is there any way to stop them without surgery or is surgery the only option
Yes, it's possible to reduce or prevent tonsil stones without surgery. Improving oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash, can significantly minimize their formation. Additional methods like gargling with warm saltwater or using a water pick can help dislodge existing stones

I have this lump on my neck that I've noticed for about a month now. I've already done FNAC twice. The first result said it was lymphadenitis and the second one mentioned something about a reactive lymphoid. I'm really concerned about whether I might need surgery for this. Could you please advise?
Surgery is usually not required unless there are complications or the swelling does not improve with conservative treatment. I would recommend taking a course of antibiotics such as Amoxicillin. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (500mg, as needed) to help with any discomfort. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
