I've been dealing with allergic sinus infection for the past 2-3 months and recently had a CT PNS scan. The ENT specialist recommended surgery to reduce swelling and clear the blockage, but I'm wondering if homeopathic treatment could permanently fix the sinus issue without needing surgery

If it is allergic nasal wash and steroid spray can take care of it. Get a allergy test done and treat the allergy by immunotherapy. Surgery is done if all measures to clear sinuses are exhausted and you have a blocked nose

I can clearly see and feel a yellow polyp-like substance when I look in the mirror or insert my finger into my nostril. A doctor mentioned polyps back in 2018 and said I might need surgery, but I never got it done. Now I can't exhale properly through that nostril, and when I try to inhale forcefully, it feels like something is vibrating near the area. Is surgery the only option for polyps, or can medication help shrink them?

Surgery is advised to the patient,also ent opinion is advised and the surgery is called polypectomy.
