A member asked:
Good day. for chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and chronic tonsillitis that are solutions to avoid surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chronic inflammation: You might try steroids intermittently as an anti-inflammatory drug. However, the problems that you are describing are the result of chronic inflammation and often do not respond to medical therapy such as antibiotics. It is true that surgery for both of your complaints will usually result in a cure.
