I've been dealing with post nasal drips for a while and was using Nasivion S spray and Montair LC, but now my new doctor switched me to Metaspray nasal spray and Histrafree 120 tablets. After taking them this morning, I noticed swelling and a discoloration on the roof of my mouth. Should I stop taking these meds or keep going with what the doctor prescribed?

It sounds like you may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the new medications. The swelling and discoloration of the hard palate in your mouth could be a sign of an allergic response. I recommend stopping the Metaspray nasal spray and Tab Histrafree 120 immediately. Please consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with frequent sinusitis that worsens my asthma, and I'm wondering if surgery for a deviated septum could help. I'm tired of relying on meds like cetirizine and montelukast and have started jal neti and vaman for relief. Would surgery actually make a difference or are there other options I should consider?
Yes, surgery to correct a deviated septum (septoplasty) can potentially make a difference in managing your sinusitis and its impact on your asthma. It's a common procedure to improve airflow and reduce nasal congestion. However, it's crucial to consider other options and determine if surgery is the right fit for your individual situation.

I have a deviated nasal septum and surgery isn't an option for me right now are there any long-term fixes that can help with breathing better or reducing discomfort without going under the knife?
Surgery is the only way to fix a deviated septum. A deviated septum that causes no symptoms needs no treatment. If allergies or sinus problems are making symptoms worse, a healthcare professional might suggest using decongestants, antihistamines or nasal steroid sprays to manage symptoms
