I've been diagnosed with cholesteatoma in my left ear and there's a growth that needs to be removed. The doctor recommended surgery, but I'm wondering if there are any other treatment options or if surgery is the only way to get rid of it completely. Is there anything else that can be done?

I'm having this constant throat irritation and it gets even worse after I eat. It feels like there's something stuck, and I just want to clear my throat all the time. It's really bothering me, especially at night, and it's making it hard for me to sleep. Do you have any idea why this might be happening or how I can ease this discomfort?

I've been dealing with nasal issues and got mixed opinions one doctor did an endoscopy and said I have DNS to the right, recommending surgery, while three others who checked my CT scan said it's just allergies and prescribed Cetirizine. The meds help but leave my nose and throat super dry, and the mucus is white. The weird part is I don't sneeze from typical triggers like dust or sunlight, but after sex, I feel like my immune system drops and cold-like symptoms kick in, leading to sneezing. If I skip meds for a couple of days, even small things like temperature changes, water, dust, or smells set off sneezing. How do I figure out if surgery is really needed or if pranayama could help? Is the DNS causing allergic symptoms or is the allergy making DNS worse? Can this be diagnosed precisely, or is trial and error the only way?
septoplasty is advised.
