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 allI've been using Sudafed nasal spray that has Xylometazoline Hydrochloride for my flu and a blocked nose, and the label says to use it three times in 24 hours. Is it okay if I take a fourth dose? I'm just really struggling to breathe through my nose right now.
It is not recommended to exceed the dosage instructions on the bottle. Taking more than the recommended dose can lead to potential side effects and complications. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I'm really worried about my 3.5-year-old daughter. She's been breathing through her mouth for over two years now. We saw an ENT specialist, and they mentioned her air veins are blocked. We did the whole treatment with cepodem, delcan, aerodil syrups, and nebulisation for five days. She seemed to breathe better afterward but still through her mouth. The doctor listened again and heard something that led us to get a nose X-ray. It showed she has adenoid hypertrophy, Grade 4. Theyre suggesting we consider an endoscopic debrider adenoidectomy. Im really unsure about going through with this. Are there any risks with this surgery? Can medication alone treat this, and is she too young at 3.5 for such a procedure? Any advice would be appreciated.
Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm dealing with this constant itch and pain inside my ear, plus there's this ringing noise that just won't go away. It's been happening for about 23 days now. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?
Throat pain can be quite uncomfortable. Before providing a prescription, consider: - Staying hydrated with warm fluids like tea or broth - Gargling with salt water - Using a humidifier - Avoiding spicy or acidic foods For relief, you can try: - Pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen - Throat lozenges or sprays containing phenol or menthol However, for a personalized prescription and proper diagnosis, I strongly recommend consulting a doctor.
