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.

I'm really struggling with a blocked nose because of my sinus issues, and it doesn't help that my nasal bone isn't straight. I'm not keen on the idea of surgery, so I've been using OTRIVIN nasal drops for some temporary relief. But it's getting so difficult to manage. Can you suggest any other alternatives or measures that might help? I'm desperate to find a better solution!
