i am using homeopathy since last 14 months but there is no improvement
Brief Answer:
Find a Surgeon where most Parotid surgeries are done.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Read your history, seen the reports and understood your concerns.
I would advise you the following:
Since there is no improvement with homeopathy that you are trying for the last 14 months, I do not understand the reasons to continue it. These too are medicines and if not working should be stopped.
Since there is a recurrence and the chances of facial nerve injury increases in reoperations, you still have to take the risk.
The best way is to find a Surgeon or a Doctor or consult a Onco-surgeon who has the most exposure in Parotid surgery.
Complete removal of the parotid is one of the answer and worth taking a calculated risk. Find the center where parotid surgery is done in good numbers.
I hope this answer helps you, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communications.
