I'm really worried about these bumps under my tonsils in the tonsillar fossa that I've had for around 45 years. They don't grow or cause discomfort, but they don't go away either. Plus, there's some white stuff on my tonsils. I saw an ENT in December who checked everything and said it was normal, suggesting I gargle with saline water or hydrogen peroxide. But I'm just wondering if these bumps will ever go away on their own or if I'm stuck with them forever. What do you think?

I've been dealing with a blocked nose for the past two weeks and got a CT scan done. I've attached the report do you think I might need surgery for this? What would you suggest based on the findings?

Without seeing the CT scan, it‚Äôs hard to determine if surgery is required. Often, nasal obstruction can be treated with medication or a procedure, but surgery is considered only if there's a structural issue like a deviated septum.

I've been dealing with constant headaches and facial pain for years. My PNS CT report shows mild polypoidal mucosal thickening in both maxillary sinuses and a Haller cell that's blocking the maxillary antral infundibuli. Both my inferior nasal turbinates are thickened too. I've tried so many medications and nasal sprays but nothing helps. Should I consider sinus surgery for this? And do you know roughly how much sinus surgery costs?

endoscopic surgery is advised to the patient.
