I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

View allI've been having some trouble with my nose and noticed this yellowish thing inside, which I guess might be a polyp. I remember a doctor mentioning back in 2018 that I had polyps and might need surgery. But now, when I look in the mirror, I can really see it there, and it's tough to breathe through that nostril. When I try to inhale hard, it feels like something's vibrating near it. Do you think surgery is the only way to fix this, or is there a chance medication could help?

I'm feeling really worried because after drinking hot water all day the day before yesterday, I started having trouble breathing, especially at night, and my nose is all congested. I've already tried inhaling steam, but I'm not sure what might be causing this or what else I should do. Can you help me figure this out?

My brother recently got a CT scan for his sinus problem and ear hole issue, and the doctor is recommending surgery. Is there any way to treat this without going under the knife? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost?
It's understandable to want to explore all treatment options before considering surgery. For sinus issues and ear hole problems, non-surgical approaches can be effective in some cases. The cost of surgery can vary significantly, but generally, expect sinus surgery to range from Rs. 45,000 to Rs. 70,000 in India. Ear hole problems like tympanic membrane perforations might require tympanoplasty surgery, which can range from Rs. 30,000 to over Rs. 1 lakh, depending on the procedure and hospital
