How to treat deviated nasal septum and sinusitis?
Hello doctor,
My 23 years old daughter has been suffering from a blocked nose for the past three months. She took Sinarest and Cefixime antibiotics tablets, and Nasivion S drops. She has only temporary relief from nose block. So, we took a CT scan of PNS (paranasal sinuses) recently. Clinical findings are deviation of nasal septum and sinusitis.I would like to know the best treatment other than surgery.

What can be done to manage obesity and lower back pain?
Hello doctor,
I am 25 years old. I have a 7-year-old and a 2-year-old kid. After my son's birth, I have gained quite a bit of weight just a little over the obese range. I say this because I do not know if it has anything to do with my problem.
I am writing because I am having trouble finding online information about my lower back pain (behind the backbone). It does not hurt all the time. Mainly there is constant pain while walking, laying flat, or when leaning forward without support. Also, there is a real sharp pinch when my kids or spouse push on it either side. I am not sure if this matters, but once in a while when I stand from the couch there is a pinching pain in my lower front abdomen that goes away after a minute or two. Is there any idea you may have as to what is going on? I have been dealing with my back for a year now and my spouse is starting to tell me to get it checked out. I used to take only Ibubrufen when I get headaches.

I am sneezing continuously only in my hometown. Can it be due to climate?
Hi doctor,
I am living in a tropical coastal area. I used to travel always. When I am outside my place or abroad I do not have any problem. But, when I enter my place and as soon as I enter my house, I will start sneezing and then after sometime my nose will start dripping. This happens only in my place. When I go outside even for six months I do not get fever or cold. But, in my place every day morning I will start sneezing. I do not know what is happening. Is this because of the climate or dust allergy? What all tests should I do? Which doctor do I need to consult?

Can honey be consumed instead of sugar in a diabetic patient?
Hello doctor,
I would like your professional medical opinion on the medication named Lyrica, but first, let me give you some background about my father's health condition. He is a 73 years old man who has been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 10 years ago. He also suffers from hypertension, gout, neuropathy, slight renal failure and had a heart attack eight years ago and underwent a minor procedure of having two stents in the heart. He is on various medications for his illnesses but my question is this, can my dad drink tea with honey instead of sugar? Is honey as damaging as sugar or can he consume it? Also, can he drink alcohol-free beer? Is beer with alcohol not permitted when having a slight renal failure and diabetes type 2?

What is the reason for stomach pain and blood in stools?
Hi doctor,
For several years my father is suffering from stomach pain. His problem includes blood in stool and pain in left side abdomen area. He has taken ayurveda, homeopathy as well as allopathy medicines, but nothing has benefitted. We did test like endoscopy, but some doctors said it is due to piles.
