My right nostril has been completely blocked for the past three months. The doctor diagnosed it as DNS and recommended surgery, but I've been trying homeopathy for a month with no relief. What else can I do to improve this?

If homeopathy hasn‚Äôt helped, an ENT might recommend septoplasty or radiofrequency ablation. Nasal sprays and steam inhalation may help temporarily.

I've been dealing with chronic snoring for a while now and even had nasopharyngeal surgery, but it hasn't helped at all. What else can I try to get some relief? It's really affecting my sleep and I'm worried about why the surgery didn't work

Changing your sleep position, avoiding beverages containing alcohol and maintaining a weight that's healthy for you can reduce snoring. Medications. Cold and allergy medications relieve nasal congestion and help you breathe freely. Nasal strips.
