Question 1

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.

Accepted Answer

Dont worry follow your doctors advice you will be fine

Question 2

I've been having these solid gummy fleshy things come out of my nose which I think might be nasal polyps. I get really bad sinus infections about three times a year since my tonsils and adenoids were taken out when I was in 4th grade. I'm 20 now and these sinus infections just seem to hit me overnight. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to prevent them?

Question 3

I'm really interested in getting a nose piercing but I'm not too keen on the gunshot method. I've heard that needle piercing might be an option and I'm wondering if ENT doctors usually handle this. Do they use local anesthesia for it? Also, could you recommend any doctors who might be able to help with this?

Accepted Answer

Visit your Physician for appropriate management

I've been dealing with an echo issue for the past two months and saw two doctors who said it's because of a sinus problem, recommending surgery as the only fix. Is there any other alternative treatment I could try before considering surgery?
