I have a deviated nasal septum and I'm really hesitant about surgery. I've seen multiple ENTs who all recommend surgery, but I'm wondering if Ayurveda can actually fix this or if it's just a temporary relief. Has anyone had success treating it without surgery?

I've been dealing with tonsil stones for about a year now and keep finding small stones in my tonsils. I've managed to remove some, but the outer ones won't budge. Sometimes it feels like something's stuck in my throat. I don't have ear pain, fever, trouble swallowing, or a sore throat just a dry throat. What can I do to relieve this without surgery? I gargle with Betadine daily. Could this be chronic tonsillitis?
Tonsil stones can cause discomfort and bad breath. While you can try home remedies like salt water gargles and coughing to dislodge them, if they persist or cause severe symptoms, consult a doctor. If you have chronic tonsillitis, they might recommend a tonsillectomy to remove the tonsils.
