Yes, septoplasty is generally safe for a 16-year-old if indicated by a medical professional.

View allI've been having this weird issue lately and I'm getting a bit worried. I'm a 26-year-old female, and for the past two days, I've noticed brown stains when I clear my throat in the morning. This has never happened to me before. Im also taking Sandu blood purifier syrup every night just before bed, and its the same color as the stains. On top of that, I get mouth ulcers and tonsillitis quite often. Do you think the syrup could be causing the discoloration, or is this something I should be more concerned about?
The brown stain in your cough could be due to the Sandu blood purifier syrup you are taking, as it is of the same color. It is possible that the syrup is causing irritation or inflammation in your throat, leading to the brownish stain in your cough. I recommend stopping the syrup for now and observing if the brown stain improves. Additionally, frequent mouth ulcers and tonsil issues may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation in your throat and oral cavity. I suggest you consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been having trouble breathing, and my CT scan showed DNS towards the left with a spur in the right and enlarged nasopharyngeal tonsil. I've attached the scan could you check if the DNS is severe enough for surgery or if it might improve with meds? I've been using fluticasone spray for a month with slight improvement, but the issue persists. Should I wait longer or consider adenoidectomy if the adenoids are maximally enlarged?
