I've been dealing with sinus issues and nasal polyps for a while sometimes I feel okay, but other times there's constant sneezing, nose swelling, and watery discharge. One side of my nose is almost always blocked, and my nose bone seems slightly bent. Doctors have suggested surgery as the only option, but I'm wondering if there's any way to treat this without going under the knife. Are there non-surgical treatments that could help?

I'm having a hard time with this persistent mucus in my throat, and it's not getting better even after I've tried steaming and gargling. I'm currently using Seroflow 500, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any advice on what else I can do? It's really frustrating.

I've been dealing with constant nose block and thick mucus that's causing ear blockage too. An ENT specialist recommended surgery for a deviated septum or extra bone growth in my nose, but I really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any effective non-surgical treatments that could help with this condition?

Yes, several non-surgical treatments can address a deviated septum and related symptoms like nasal blockage, thick mucus, and ear blockage. These include nasal sprays, allergy medications, nasal strips, nasal irrigations, humidifiers, and addressing underlying allergies or asthma. If non-surgical treatments are insufficient, surgery (septoplasty) may be considered
