hi.. thanks for using HCM.. you are having acid peptic disease and reflux esophagitis.. before going for DNS surgery, try antacids like proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs like itopride.. see your gastroenterologist if it doesnot improve, get endoscopy done and go according to the doctor.. DNS problem is a different set of problem, see your ENT surgeon lateron.. mean while eat less spicy food, small and frequent meals, stop alcohol/smoking.. all the very best.
THE SURGERY IS DONE TO PERFORM CORRECTION OF NASal passages so that the obstruction is cleared as there are many factors in this.IF YOUR MAIN FACOR IS ALLERGIC SURGERY MAY NOT HAV E MUCH EFFECT if you have no major block controllinG the nasal secretions and keeping the size of all turbinates i nose by precautions can help you as these are hypertrohied due to reular exposure to dust in indis to prevent size increase of turbinates and exposure to allergens apply neomycin h ointment in nose bd for 6 months to prevent allergen from touching nasal mucosa put sea water 2 drops at night in each nose to drain mucus and clear nose and throat ADD LIQUID ANTACID TO PREVENT BURP AS THE SECRETIONS OF SINUSES ARE DECREASED THE POST NASAL DRIP WILL DECREASE LEADING TO DECREASE IN REFLUX avoid medicines which can increase mucus secretions in nose and sinuses take antiallergic sos for blockage and irritation you can try for 6 months
