How successful is DNS nose surgery and what are the risks? Can a deviated nasal septum be fixed without surgery or is surgery the only option? I'm worried about complications and wondering if there are non-surgical treatments that actually work

I'm having trouble taking a deep breath; it feels like something's blocking the air near my throat. I saw a pulmonologist and had a PFT test, which came back normal. The doctor prescribed a deltone tablet, but after a week, there's no improvement. I'm really worried about this and would appreciate any guidance on what might be going on. How can I start breathing freely again?

do regular breathing

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and my nose is completely blocked. Luckily, I don't have a fever right now. I currently have some crocin cold and flu tablets, but I recently heard that they might be banned by the government. Is it still safe for me to take them? I don't have any other medication on hand.

Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.
