While a deviated septum causing sinus issues and headaches can be bothersome, surgery (septoplasty) is generally the only way to correct a deviated septum. However, managing symptoms with medications and possibly nonsurgical rhinoplasty might provide relief and address the appearance of the nose.

Question

I've had a small lump on the right side of my tongue for the past two years. It hasn't changed in size or shape, and it doesn't cause any pain or problems, but I'm still worried about it. Can you tell me why these kinds of lumps appear on the tongue and what might have caused it? Also, is there any way to treat or remove it without surgery?

I've noticed that my uvula seems quite large and kind of pointy at the end. Sometimes it feels like there's something stuck in my throat. Could this be causing some nasal blockage? I'm wondering if I might need surgery for this.

I've got really tough ear wax and it's making it hard to hear from one of my ears. I gave Cipla ear drops a shot, but they didn't work. Any ideas on how I can get rid of it?
