I've had enlarged tonsils for over a year now - can homeopathy actually shrink them back to normal size or is surgery better? The doctor just glanced and said I have big tonsils without any tests, but I've been taking meds. What symptoms do people usually get with enlarged tonsils - like trouble swallowing or sore throat all the time?

My right nose is blocked due to nasal congestion and allergies, and the doctor recommended surgery using advanced ENT with a navigator based on my CT scan and endoscopic report. They said skipping surgery could lead to chronic sinus issues. Are there any alternative treatments that could avoid surgery?

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.

I had sinus surgery back in 2011 for allergic rhinitis and sinusitis. These days I don't have the usual sneezing, cold, or post nasal drip but I keep getting this low-grade fever with body aches and a heavy feeling in my forehead. Could this still be sinus-related even though I don't have other symptoms? What treatment would work best and how long before I see results? Homeopathy didn't fully help last time but I'm hoping there's still a way to manage this.

I'm dealing with this annoying dryness in my throat and mouth every early morning around 4 or 5 am since November. I saw a doctor and had my blood sugar tested through a urine testit was normal. The meds helped for a week, but then the dryness came back. Also, I have this long-term nasal blockage since 2011 after a viral fever. I cant smell much unless my nasal passage clears up or during a cold. Plus, I catch a cold every month or two. I'm confused about who to see for this issue because online it seems like these symptoms could be throat infection, prediabetes, or sinus problems. Could you guide me on which specialist to consult and the right treatment to pursue?
