My right nose is blocked due to nasal congestion and allergies, and the doctor recommended surgery using advanced ENT with a navigator based on my CT scan and endoscopic report. They said skipping surgery could lead to chronic sinus issues. Are there any alternative treatments that could avoid surgery?

Advanced ENT-guided FESS is effective, but if unaffordable, try nasal steroids, sprays, and steam inhalation for relief.

Can using nasal saline spray really help protect us from getting infected by black fungus? I'm curious about how this works and if it's something I should consider.
Nasal saline spray like Solespre can help in keeping the nasal passages moist and clear, which may potentially reduce the risk of fungal infections. However, it is important to note that nasal saline spray alone may not be sufficient to prevent black fungus infection. It is essential to maintain good hygiene practices and seek medical attention if any concerning symptoms arise.

I've been having this weird sensation in my throat for the past month. It feels like something's stuck there, but it doesn't hurt. Sometimes it's right at the top of my throat, other times it's lower down. Eating and swallowing are totally fine, no problems there. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?
From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing a sensation of something stuck in your throat without any pain or difficulty swallowing. This sensation is known as globus pharyngeus. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, post-nasal drip, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). To help alleviate this sensation, you can try over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) to see if it improves. Additionally, drinking plenty of water, avoiding acidic or spicy foods, and practicing relaxation techniques may also be beneficial. If the sensation persists or worsens, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
