Swellings in the neck are common. They can arise from various structures in the neck like lymph glands, salivary glands, nervous sheath, thyroid gland etc. Surgery in the neck requires experience and expertise due to several vital structures in the neck like the wind pipe ( trachea), food pipe ( esophagus), bolld vessels, cranial nerves etc.

Almost everybody has a deviation in the nasal septum. However, it requires treatment if it results into symptoms mentioned above. Surgery is the treatment of choice. Surgery is advised typically after completion of growth spurts. Surgery is essentially without external or mouth incisions. Septoplasty may require correction of the blocked nasal sinuses with endoscopic sinus surgery.
