Deviated septum is corrected via septoplasty; risks include bleeding or infection—recovery is around 1–2 weeks.

I'm really concerned about this ongoing soreness and scratchy feeling in my throat that I've had for the last four months. I've seen several ENT specialists, and each one seems to have a different take on it. One mentioned acid reflux but I don't actually feel any heartburn, while another pointed to post-nasal drip and after a CT scan said I have ethmoid sinusitis and inflammation in my throat. He mentioned surgery might be an option if medication doesn't help, which I'm really not eager for. Yet another doctor said it's just an infection, but that doesnt seem to explain everything, and I can't get rid of this nagging feeling. I went down a Google rabbit hole and read about persistent throat issues being linked to cancer. Could just a sore throat really mean something as serious as cancer?

I'm really struggling with a bad cold and my nose is completely blocked. Luckily, I don't have a fever right now. I currently have some crocin cold and flu tablets, but I recently heard that they might be banned by the government. Is it still safe for me to take them? I don't have any other medication on hand.

Yes you can take it and visit doctor for appropriate treatment.
