I'm really anxious about septoplasty surgery and the idea of packing scares me because I can't breathe through my mouth. Is it possible to have the procedure without packing? Comfort is really important to me and I'm willing to pay extra for that. How do surgeons usually handle cases like mine?

I've been feeling like there's something stuck in my throat lately. It's kind of uncomfortable and sometimes there's soreness and pain in both my throat and neck. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of throat irritation or inflammation. To help alleviate the discomfort, you can try using over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) for pain relief. Additionally, you can use throat lozenges like Strepsils to soothe your throat. Gargling with warm salt water can also help reduce inflammation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
