Yes, it's possible to reduce or prevent tonsil stones without surgery. Improving oral hygiene, including brushing, flossing, and using an antibacterial mouthwash, can significantly minimize their formation. Additional methods like gargling with warm saltwater or using a water pick can help dislodge existing stones

Question

The doctor is recommending surgery for my sinus issues in the nose but I'm not sure if it's the right option. What are the risks and benefits of sinus surgery, and are there any alternatives I should consider first? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife for this.

Question

I'm really struggling with my sinusitis and just wanted to get some advice. I've been taking Microdox LBX capsules with Sinarest tablets before meals, and using a Nasowash sachet with a Nasowash sneezing bottle to clean my nose. Afterward, I take steam and then use a hot cloth as a compress. I also gargle with warm water and then use Sane Nasal Drops, putting in four drops. About 5 to 10 minutes later, I do some breathing exercises like Alom Vilom and Kapal Bharti. I finish off with Fluticone FT nasal spray. Even though my PNS X-ray says my sinus problem is very minor, my throat pain just won't go away. Any idea what's going on or what else I could try?

Question

Will sinus surgery change the shape of my nose or make it look wider and if so how long does that last Is there anything they can do during the procedure to keep my nose looking thinner
