I've been diagnosed with a deviated septum to the right side and concha bullosa on the right as well. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. What are the risks if I don't get it done, and how much would surgery actually help my symptoms?

If your deviated septum and concha bullosa aren't causing significant breathing problems, sleep disturbances, or other quality-of-life issues, surgery might not be necessary, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, if symptoms are bothersome, surgery can offer significant relief with good success rates.

I'm a bit concerned because after getting the wax cleaned from my ear, it's now bleeding. The doctor mentioned there might be a little blood, but should I be worried if it's more than just a little? What should I do next?

After cleaning the wax, it is normal to experience some bleeding. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on the affected area to prevent infection and promote healing. You can also use a sterile gauze pad to apply gentle pressure on the area to help stop the bleeding. If the bleeding persists or worsens, please seek medical attention.
