I've been dealing with nasal issues and got mixed opinions one doctor did an endoscopy and said I have DNS to the right, recommending surgery, while three others who checked my CT scan said it's just allergies and prescribed Cetirizine. The meds help but leave my nose and throat super dry, and the mucus is white. The weird part is I don't sneeze from typical triggers like dust or sunlight, but after sex, I feel like my immune system drops and cold-like symptoms kick in, leading to sneezing. If I skip meds for a couple of days, even small things like temperature changes, water, dust, or smells set off sneezing. How do I figure out if surgery is really needed or if pranayama could help? Is the DNS causing allergic symptoms or is the allergy making DNS worse? Can this be diagnosed precisely, or is trial and error the only way?

I have hearing loss and my doctor recommended ear surgery because there's some damage to the layers in my ear and a small hole. Is there any alternative to surgery? Can homeopathy help repair this or should I see a good homeopathic doctor? Here are my test results what do you suggest?

The recommended ear surgery likely refers to tympanoplasty, a procedure to repair a damaged eardrum (tympanic membrane). This surgery can improve hearing, especially if a hole in the eardrum (perforation) or damage to the surrounding layers is causing hearing loss. Tympanoplasty involves using a graft (tissue or synthetic material) to patch or reconstruct the damaged eardrum.

I've had this hearing issue for 10-12 years and seen many doctors without a clear solution. Recently, an audiometry test showed my right ear is fine but the left ear doesn't pick up any beeps at any frequency. The doctor said there's no treatment except a hearing aid and ruled out surgery unless it's a bone or tumor issue. They mentioned one surgery option but said it's not guaranteed since it might be a nerve problem. Is there really no way to fix this 100% or am I stuck with a hearing aid for life?

I've got this pimple or bump on my uvula, and it's really painful when I eat or drink. I'm not sure whether this is something that'll go away on its own or if I should get it checked out. What do you think?

It sounds like you may have a small irritation or infection on your uvula, which can cause discomfort while swallowing. While it might resolve on its own, if the pain persists, worsens, or you notice other symptoms, it's a good idea to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.
