My 4-year-old was told he needs adenoid and tonsil removal plus grommets for ear fluid. Are there other options we could try before surgery? I'm worried about putting him through all that and wondering if there's a less invasive approach

Question

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?

Question

I'm noticing a hard bump on the side of my nose, just about an inch below my eye. I initially tried to squeeze it thinking it was a pimple, but nothing came out, and then it disappeared for about an hour before returning. Now it's hard and I'm wondering if it could be an allergic reaction to the nose pads on my glasses since I do have sensitive skin and a history of allergies. Could this really be just an allergy or should I be worried about something else?

Question

I'm having this constant pain in my ear, like right on that little flap part, the tragus. It really hurts, especially when I press on it. I'm worried and not sure what's causing it. What could be going on with my ear?
