A deviated septum and turbinate hypertrophy, as shown in your CT scan, are often best addressed with surgical interventions, but homeopathic treatments might be considered for symptom management. Surgery (septoplasty and turbinate reduction) is necessary to physically correct the septum and turbinate size, while homeopathic treatments might provide relief from related symptoms.

Question

I've had this small lump on my neck for like 10 months now. I saw an ENT doc who said it's nothing to worry about. He did mention something about surgery, either now or later. My friend's dad had a similar lump, and their doctor insisted on surgery which cost them around 1 lac. Should I be worried about this lump even though there's no pain?

Question

I'm having some major issues with my left ear that are really affecting my sleep. I found out I have a middle ear infection and after going through a bunch of tests like X-rays, blood work, an echocardiogram, ECG, and a CT scan of the mastoid, my doctor is suggesting a major surgery. Can you tell me what this surgery is called? I'm also really worried about any health risks that might come with it.

Question

I'm currently using Derinide Aq nasal spray for my condition and wondering if it can be fully cured with just medication or if surgery might be necessary. What would you suggest as the best approach?
