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 just seen an ENT specialist who said everything is fine and there's nothing to worry about, but I can't help feeling anxious. Should I be concerned about anything, or is it really nothing to worry about?
