Elongated bilateral styloid processes
My mother suffering from throat and head pain after so many consultations and using medicines she didn't get recovered atlast in Feb 2023 we asked doctor to take a CT scan and in that the result is elongated bilateral styloid processes. So doctor told will do surgery and remove. My mother is afraid of hospitals and she is not willing to go for surgery. Can i get second opinion on this? Is surgery must or we have any other process? If she go through surgery, is it sure she would get relief from the pain? Plzz give ur valuable suggestions. Thankyou so much in advance.
