I have a deviated septum and I'm not sure what the best treatment option is should I consider surgery, homeopathy, or are there other alternatives? If surgery is recommended, how long is the usual recovery time and what's the approximate cost?

View allMy daughter needs adenoid and tonsil surgery but I'm confused about the coblation machine. Is it always necessary for these procedures? Also can you suggest hospitals in Bangalore that do this surgery without coblation since our insurance doesn't cover it and the extra cost is quite high - around 9k to 18k in Koramangala hospitals
Coblation surgery for adenoids and tonsils is not always necessary. While it offers benefits like less pain and bleeding, it's not essential for all procedures. You can find hospitals in Bangalore that perform traditional adenoid and tonsil removal without coblation, especially since your insurance doesn't cover it and you're looking to minimize costs

I have a deviated nasal septum and surgery isn't an option for me right now are there any long-term fixes that can help with breathing better or reducing discomfort without going under the knife?
Surgery is the only way to fix a deviated septum. A deviated septum that causes no symptoms needs no treatment. If allergies or sinus problems are making symptoms worse, a healthcare professional might suggest using decongestants, antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays to manage symptoms
