Patient discussion about injury.
Q. My 21 year son has chronic sinus issues, I think, due to many high school sports injuries. Help! His ENT has recommended a "nose job" but our insurance will not cover it. Do you know of any holostic, nutritional or homeopathic solutions to keep this under control? When he gets a headache, it shuts him down and normally goes into a migraine.
A. Knows nothing about holystic treatment, but when I think about it, won't it be better to treat it definitely (more or less, I don't really know the situation) than postponing it with intermediate treatment? Have your tried to consult your docotr about that?
