I've been diagnosed with a deviated septum to the right side and concha bullosa on the right as well. My doctor recommended surgery, but I'm not sure if it's really necessary. What are the risks if I don't get it done, and how much would surgery actually help my symptoms?

If your deviated septum and concha bullosa aren't causing significant breathing problems, sleep disturbances, or other quality-of-life issues, surgery might not be necessary, according to the Cleveland Clinic. However, if symptoms are bothersome, surgery can offer significant relief with good success rates.

I've been dealing with this mucus issue in my throat and my nose is constantly blocked. Even though I'm taking medications like Seroflo 500, Gelemont A, Arzep nasal spray, Memoflow nasal spray, and an antibiotic, the problem just won't go away. Is there anything else I should be doing, or do these symptoms suggest something more serious? I'm really worried and would love some guidance.
