Yes, there are non-surgical and natural approaches to managing vocal cord polyps, and consulting with specialists in India is a good idea. Non-surgical options include voice therapy, lifestyle modifications (hydration, avoiding irritants), and sometimes medication. Homeopathy and other alternative therapies are also explored by some. Specialized ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) doctors in India can provide comprehensive care and personalized treatment plans.

I have a deviated nasal septum and enlarged turbinates along with chronic sinusitis and I've been having constant face pain, headaches, and even eye and joint pain. My ENT recommended surgery but said it might not fix the headaches. Should I still consider the surgery or are there other options I can try first?

I've had these white pimples or spots on the back wall of my throat for a week now, and there's no pain. Initially, I felt a mild tingling when eating dry or condensed foods, but that's gone awayjust the spots remain. I saw an ENT and was prescribed Sompraz L, Sucrale O, and montelukast. It's been a week of medication, and the spots are still there without any pain. I don't smoke or drink alcohol. Should I get any additional tests, or will this clear up on its own? How many more days should I wait? I've attached a photo for reference.
