I've been dealing with this issue where one side of my nose is always blocked because of inferior turbinate hypertrophy. My ENT says it's not a big deal and gave me decongestants, but I still get these bad headaches in my forehead, and my eye movement feels kind of restricted when it happens. I'm really curious about how these nose issues are connected to my headaches and what else I can do to make them go away. Could you help me understand this relationship a bit better and suggest some ways to get some relief?

My nose is always stuffy because of allergies and my CT scan showed a blockage in my right nostril. The doctor recommended surgery using an advanced ENT navigator, saying it could turn into chronic sinusitis if I don't get it done. Are there any other treatments or alternative medicines I could try instead of surgery?

ent review is advised.

Can you let me know how many hours of sleep are recommended if I'm taking Montek LC? I usually get around 7 to 8 hours, but I'm still feeling drowsy. Is this normal or should I be concerned?

7-8 hrs of sleep is enough but the tablet usually makes you feel drowsy for upto 10 hrs.
