My right nose is always blocked due to DNS and I catch coughs and colds easily. I do anulom vilom pranayama and eat healthy, avoiding cold foods. Would anushadbindu oil help improve my DNS issue? What's better between the two options? Is there any non-surgical way to recover from DNS?

I've been dealing with sinusitis for years and had a septoplasty back in 2014 for a deviated septum, but I still get frequent sinus headaches and occasional nose blocks. The doctor also recommended functional balloon sinus surgery back then could that help with my ongoing issues or are there other treatments I should consider?

Kindly consult a ent specialist and a pulmonologist for further evaluation

I was diagnosed with an antrochoanal polyp after a CT scan and my doctor recommended surgery. I'm okay with surgery but I'm curious to know if my polyp is considered big or small since I don't have facial pain and only one nostril is 40% blocked while the other is fine. I had a sinus infection about 10 months ago could that be related? Do I really need surgery?

An antrochoanal polyp's size isn't determined by nostril blockage alone. While a 40% blockage is noticeable, it's the polyp's location and extent, as seen in your CT scan, that dictates its size and potential for surgery. Your recent sinus infection could have contributed to the polyp's growth, and while some patients may need surgery, others may respond well to medical treatments. Your doctor's recommendation for surgery suggests a need for complete removal to address your symptoms and prevent recurrence.

I've been experiencing a strange pricking sensation at the back of my tongue, deep in my throat. It's been happening since I had some roasted jeera powder mixed with lemon water. Thankfully, it doesn't hurt and I can still eat normally, but the sensation is definitely there. Do you have any advice on what I can do to ease this?

this could be pharyngitis,take warm foods,and adequate rest do salt water gargling threetime a day and visit your ENT doctor for appropriate treatment.
