It's understandable to have concerns about surgery, especially when dealing with a deviated septum and sinusitis. While surgical correction (septoplasty, FESS, and turbinoplasty) can be effective for these conditions, it's not always the first or only option. You can explore alternative approaches, such as medication and lifestyle changes, to manage your symptoms before considering surgery

I was eating and accidentally swallowed a small piece of mutton bone; now it feels like it's stuck near my throat. What should I do to get it out? Please advise.

I would recommend not try to remove by yourself..it may worse the situation.. visit an ENT specialist for proper assessment and removal of the impacted bone ...

I've been told I have nasal polyps in my right nostril. I went to an ENT and they said I needed a CT scan, which I did. After reviewing the scan, the doc said I should have surgery right away and didn't even suggest any medication first. It feels a bit suspicious to me. From what I've found online, these polyps seem pretty common. I'm just wondering if there are medicines or home remedies I could try before jumping into surgery. What do you think?

No surgical excision is the treatment of choice for nasal polyps,trust your doctor and follow their advice.

I'm dealing with granular pharyngitis at the back of my throat and it's been really uncomfortable. I've already tried two rounds of antibiotics, but they haven't made any difference. I'm honestly quite worried about what I should do next. Any advice would be really appreciated.

No need to worry such conditions would need long term treatment,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate treatment.
