I'm dealing with chronic allergic rhino sinusitis and have a deviated nasal septum with enlarged turbinates. I recently heard about something called ENS, which can happen after turbinate reduction surgery. Is it safe to go ahead and get my deviated septum fixed along with FESS without doing anything to the turbinates, or is there a risk I should be aware of?

Role of Turbinates in Nasal Function

I've been dealing with frequent sinusitis that keeps coming back, and it's causing pain and sensitivity in my upper left teeth. Antibiotics help for a bit, but the issue returns after a few days. Could this be linked to something specific? I've attached images of my nostrils do you think surgery might be necessary, and if so, what would the cost look like?
kindly share report images

I've had these nodes near my ears for the last 34 years they keep getting enlarged and then degrade on their own. Recently, both sides of my earlobes became swollen, inflamed, and really painful. This happens every six months. Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medication? What's the best solution?
Recurrent lymph node swelling may need FNAC/biopsy; antibiotics work for infection, but surgery needed if cystic or abscessed.
