Have i got a sinus problem? what can i do?!
Question: m 18 yr boy. i have a serious sinus problem. About some days back,i was having difficulty in breathing. i went to doctor ,did an x-ray of nose.....n it shows that a part of my bone in the nose is extended and is blocking the airway. i have always breathed through my mouth in my life. But the now the doctor is saying that ,the only cure to this is that i start breathing thorough my nose,which will eventually heal the nose bone. He also said that if it get worst,then i'll hav to undergo an operation which i want to avoid. it's really very difficult for me to breathe with my nose,as i havnt done it in my life. Also during my sleep, i keep my mouth wide open to breathe. Doctor has said that i'll have to learn to breathe with my nose at any stake.My mom is also a doctor.She even tried to just cover my mouth with her hand during sleep so that i start breathing through my nose & she said it worked too as i started breathing through my nose.But i fear that can i get choked & will it work ?

As far as my medical knowledge goes, no amount of breathing through your nose will have any effect on a BONE. It there is a bone malformation blocking a portion of your airway, surgery is the only option to correct it. You probably need to visit another doctor, maybe a specialist called and ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat). I think your current doctor is a quack.
