Turbinate reduction surgery. I'm considering a nasal spray trial first—anyone have experience with this?

An ENT recently recommended turbinate reduction surgery for my nasal congestion, but my blockage is mostly intermittent. It spikes with poor sleep or cat allergies, but my breathing is usually pretty decent when I'm well-rested. Before committing to surgery, I’m planning to do a 4-week trial with a daily steroid spray (like fluticasone) to see if controlling the underlying inflammation opens things up enough.

Has anyone here had success avoiding surgery by doing a consistent spray trial first? Did sprays manage your variable swelling well, or did you ultimately end up needing the procedure anyway? I’d love to hear your experiences! And if you have recommendations for over the counter nasal sprays that would be great. Thanks!

Hurghada - Best area for strong wifi and kite foiling

Hello everybody. Im looking for recommendations. Im looking for a place to stay for 3 weeks at the end of september. I need strong wifi for work and I want to be at walking distance from a kitesurf spot that is deep enough to foil. If you have recommendations of areas or recommendations of places to stay, please let me know. I don't want to be in El Gouna because its too expensive for me for 3 weeks. Thanks!
