Yes, Ayurveda can offer natural remedies for sinusitis and potential relief from breathing difficulties caused by a deviated septum (DNS), even if surgery is not desired. Ayurvedic practices like Nasya, Neti, and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and potentially improve breathing

my ct scan shows a deviated nasal septum to the left with left side concavity and hypertrophy of the right inferior nasal turbinate - can this be treated with homeopathy or would surgery be necessary?

A deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy, as shown in your CT scan, are often best addressed with surgical interventions, but homeopathic treatments might be considered for symptom management. Surgery (septoplasty and turbinate reduction) is necessary to physically correct the septum and turbinate size, while homeopathic treatments might provide relief from related symptoms.

I'm a bit confused about a prescription I received. My doctor told me to use Flomist AQ nasal spray for my runny nose, but when I went to the pharmacy, they only had Flomist nasal spray. Is this the same thing, or should I be looking for something specific?

I've been experiencing this weird crackling sound in my left ear whenever I swallow food. Sometimes it happens in my right ear too. I also notice it when I blow air through my mouth or even while I'm speaking. It's really starting to worry me. What could be causing this and how can it be treated?
