I've been dealing with sinus issues for a really long time now. Every time I have something cold, I start sneezing nonstop. Even when my room fan is on high speed, I wake up sneezing with a lot of coughing, and it happens in summer too. It's been a year since I could eat ice cream. I've been on homeopathy for 4 months but no improvement. I keep taking Sinarest for temporary relief and go through almost a full strip every month. Is there any permanent solution for this? Would sinus surgery help or will I have to live with this sneezing forever?

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

I'm a bit worried because while I was eating, I accidentally scratched my throat. Now I'm coughing a lot, and my throat feels really itchy. It also hurts whenever I swallow. Do you think this is something serious, or will it just go away on its own? Should I be doing anything specific to help it heal or make the pain go away?
It sounds like you may have developed some irritation in your throat from scratching it while swallowing. To help with the pain and itchiness, you can try using a throat spray like Chloraseptic which contains benzocaine. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the discomfort. Additionally, sucking on throat lozenges containing menthol or eucalyptus can also provide relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid irritants like smoking or excessive talking. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
