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.

Question

I've been dealing with throat infections and a cough since January 17th, and it's really frustrating. My voice keeps getting hoarse, especially after I have ice cream or cold fruits. What's weird is that now my voice sounds hoarse even without a throat infection. I'm worried and not sure why this is happening. Could it be something more?

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been having some pain and swelling on the right side of my neck where a lymph node is located. I went for an FNAC test, and the report says there's a right submandibular swelling, but the stain for AFB is negative. The findings mentioned something about a necrotizing granulomatous lesion. I'm really anxious about what this means. Could you help me understand this condition a bit better and let me know if it's something I could pass on to others?

Question

I have a deviated septum and it's making it really hard to breathe normally. Would a septoplasty surgery help fix this issue? What's the recovery like and are there any risks I should know about?
