I've been dealing with sinus issues for the past year and my doctor recommended septoplasty surgery. I'm a bit worried is this procedure really 100% curable? What can I expect in terms of recovery and long-term results?

Septoplasty is not a 100% guarantee for a cure, but it has a high success rate in improving nasal airflow and sinus issues. Recovery typically takes a few weeks, and long-term results can be permanent, but some patients may experience lingering issues or complications

I'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?
