I've been having trouble breathing through my left nostril and visited an ENT in Hyderabad who said there's extra bone growth in my nose causing the issue. They recommended surgery but I'm a bit unsure - could you suggest any other options or advice for this problem?
If you're hesitant about surgery for a deviated nasal septum, consider consulting with another ENT doctor for a second opinion. While surgery is often the solution for a deviated septum, there are other options like medication to manage symptoms and improve airflow

I'm experiencing pain on the right side of my jaw near my ear, and I already went to see a dentist. He told me theres nothing wrong with my teeth, but the pain hasn't gone away. I'm a bit worried about what might be causing this discomfort. Could it be something other than a dental issue? What should I do next?
The pain you are experiencing near your ear and jaw could be due to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area and doing gentle jaw exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists, you may need to see a specialist for further evaluation and management.
