I've had a lump next to my right ear tragus for about a year and it's been growing bigger lately. Sometimes it hurts too. Should I consider surgery or are there other options? What do you suggest I do about it?

I'm really worried about this situation with my nose. I recently saw an ENT doctor who did a full face x-ray and said that the bone on one side of my nostril is bent, which is blocking a bit of the airway and leaving very little space to breathe on that side. He gave me some medicine for 10 days, but I'm unsure if this will actually help in straightening the bone or if surgery might be necessary. I've been feeling really weak and I think it's because I'm not getting enough oxygen. What should I do?

Thats DNS nad needs surgical correction based on severity, follow your doctors advice.
