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 been gargling with salt water and noticed these tiny bright red blood strips in my saliva. I've had acid reflux symptoms recently, but those seem to have cleared up. I'm not having any trouble swallowing, no fever, and my voice hasn't changed. The blood stains are really just tiny and only show up when I gargle. Should I be worried about this?

Isolated incidence is no issue, may be it was due to forceful throat clearing.

I'm still dealing with a runny nose even 25 days after testing positive for COVID. I actually started having this runny nose about a week before my test, so it's been over a month now. Throughout this time, I haven't had any other symptomsjust the runny nose. My doctor suggested I take MontairLC, and I've been on it for five days, but there's been no change. Is a runny nose normal after having COVID, or is this something more serious? Could it be a fungal infection? What should I do next?

It's possible that your runny nose could be related to a post-COVID condition, or it might be a sign of another infection, such as a fungal infection. However, without further evaluation, it's difficult to determine the exact cause.

My right nose is always blocked due to DNS and I catch coughs and colds easily. I do anulom vilom pranayama and eat healthy, avoiding cold foods. Would anushadbindu oil help improve my DNS issue? What's better between the two options? Is there any non-surgical way to recover from DNS?

septoplasty for DNS is advised to the patient if conservative treatment is ineffective.
