I'm wondering if Vizylac is effective for treating a sore or inflamed throat, or if it's meant for something else entirely? I've been experiencing some discomfort and I'm curious if this is the right medication to use or if there's a better option.

I got my CT scan report showing a deviated septum but I don't have major breathing issues on the left side. Sometimes I get headaches on that side though. No frequent colds. Do I really need septoplasty surgery or can I manage without it?

A deviated septum doesn't always require surgery, even if you have one. If your deviated septum is mild and not causing significant issues, you may not need septoplasty. However, if you're experiencing headaches or other bothersome symptoms, you should discuss treatment options with your doctor.

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing some pain between my left ear and lower jaw, and sometimes it seems to travel up to my brain. Just today, I noticed a small lump at the back of my throat. Could this be oral cancer? I've been using cool lip tobacco for about 3.5 years now. Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Do not worry, visit you ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.

I've been diagnosed with nasal polyps and using the nasal spray my doctor prescribed, but it only gives temporary relief. Surgery is an option, but I'm worried about the polyps coming back. Are there effective homeopathy or Ayurveda treatments for nasal polyps, and how well do they actually work?

polypectomy is advised at apollo hospital.
