I've been dealing with some nasal congestion and was told I might have turbinate hypertrophy. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medications or treatments that could help shrink the turbinates or at least give me some relief without having to go under the knife? Would love some advice on what to try or any tips on managing this.

Turbinate Hypertroneeds surgical excision only when it is causing severe symptoms or aggrevating Sinusitis, otherwise you can neglect it.

I'm really anxious because I woke up yesterday and tried to clear my throat and when I spit, there was some blood in it. I saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck in the back of my throat when I looked in the mirror. I didn't notice any more blood throughout the day, but then in the evening, another blob was there in my throat and it didn't come out. I'm worriedcould be something serious? Also, my nose is often dry, and sometimes when I clean it, blood comes out. I have burping and acidity problems too. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand this?
