Question

I have a DNS issue with an overgrown septum and outer bone. My doctor recommended septoplasty first and then plastic surgery on the outer nose later, but I've heard about septorhinoplasty where both are done together. Is that really an option? Would it be better to combine them or do them separately?

Your doctor's recommendation to address the deviated nasal septum (DNS) with septoplasty first, followed by rhinoplasty (plastic surgery of the outer nose), is a common approach.

Question

I'm really worried because I've got this yellow pus with a terrible smell coming out of my right nostril. It's got this drainage-like odor that's just unbearable. Last month I had a lot of tooth pain, but that's gone now. The pus seems to come out whenever I bend over. I've seen a top ENT and a dentist, and they couldn't figure out what's wrong, even after an X-ray in the front of my mouth. Now they're suggesting a CT scan to diagnose it. Any idea what might be going on or what I should do next?

Question
