Septoplasty/Turbine Reduction/Grommets

Hi all,

Recently since flying (with a head cold) I've been having painful ears and had trouble popping my ears on descent,

I've been diagnosed with Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and have a deviated septum according to the nice pics my ENT surgeon recently took, he mentioned I need a septoplasty and turbine reduction etc...and on top of that having grommets inserted.



-Does anyone have any experience on septoplasty surgery and turbine reduction? Did it help your Eustachian tube dysfunction/painfull ears,or we're grommets more helpful. Or maybe it's all due to the time of year ie: winter & head colds, summer & hay fever?

I've recently started with Avamys 27.5 micrograms nose spray, which seems to be rather helpfull, but not jumping too conclusions just yet...
Has anyone else had any good experiences with Avamys?
