My nose is always stuffy because of allergies and my CT scan showed a blockage in my right nostril. The doctor recommended surgery using an advanced ENT navigator, saying it could turn into chronic sinusitis if I don't get it done. Are there any other treatments or alternative medicines I could try instead of surgery?

I'm waking up and noticing that I'm spitting brown saliva, which is really unusual for me. I've never smoked or drank, and this is the first time I've experienced something like this. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

Brown saliva in the morning could be due to various reasons such as dehydration, nasal congestion, or even minor bleeding in the mouth during the night. However, if this persists, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try using a saline nasal spray to help with any nasal congestion and ensure you are staying hydrated throughout the day.
