Sleep problem

My girlfriend's CT scan of the nose shows an S-shaped deviated nasal septum (DNS) with a right septal spur and hypertrophied nasal turbinates. Because of this, she sometimes experiences difficulty breathing through the nose, especially during the night. Her biggest problem is that she is unable to sleep properly. Most nights she sleeps only 3 to 4 hours, and she often wakes up because of nasal blockage. This issue is affecting her daily life and overall health. She had a previous fainting episode, so I also got a CT brain scan done, which came back normal. Could you please advise: Whether these symptoms can be caused by DNS and enlarged turbinates. If she needs to see an ENT specialist urgently. Whether any safe nasal spray or medicines can help relieve the blockage and improve her sleep. Whether surgery might be required if medicines do not work. She has no known brain abnormality according to the CT scan. Please guide us on the best treatment.

Tonsil stones

I have been suffering from tonsil stones on my right tonsil for years. I cannot manually remove them. It very rarely comes out when coughing. It's causing me persistent bad breath no matter what I do. I've already tried salt water gargle, mouthwash and all the remedies available. When I touch my right tonsil and smell it, it's awful. What's the solution because I've already tried all the home remedies and it's affecting my quality of life.

Sneezing problem

Hello Doctor,                I have been facing these health issues since February: I get very violent sneezing fits in the morning, sneezing around 5 to 10 times. I also sneeze occasionally during the day or evening, about 2 to 4 times. When I sneeze, my nose starts running, and then it goes away entirely within 1 to 2 hours. I also sneeze 2 to 4 times at night, which causes my nose to get slightly blocked while sleeping. Along with the sneezing, I have a persistent sore throat. Please check my symptoms and prescribe the correct medicines and a nasal spray. Thank you!
