I have a sinus issue and a deviated nasal bone that makes my blocked nose worse. I don't want surgery but rely on OTRIVIN drops for temporary relief. Are there other ways to manage this? It's really hard to deal with daily.

Yes, there are alternative ways to manage a deviated septum and sinus issues without surgery, such as using saline nasal sprays, avoiding triggers, and incorporating home remedies like steam inhalation and humidifiers. It's also crucial to consult with a doctor or ENT specialist to determine the best course of action for your specific situation and to discuss potential medical treatments like nasal steroid sprays

I'm dealing with a deviated nasal septum, and it's been bothering me a lot. I really want to go for septoplasty surgery, but I'm super anxious about the idea of using packing because I just can't breathe through my mouth. I'm based in Delhi. Is there any surgeon here who could help with a packing-free procedure? I'm really looking for advice or suggestions on how to proceed.

I've got this white, pearly, bumpy papule-like growth on my right tonsil. It doesn't hurt, but I can really feel it when I'm swallowing, like there's something stuck in my throat. I've also noticed a slight ache in my right ear. What could this be?
