I had a septoplasty done to help my breathing and it was unsuccessful the first time. Basically the septum started moving to one side and looked much worse than before the surgery. I had a revision surgery with a different doctor and it went well. My nose doesn't have the flexibility it once did on one side due to the spreader grafts but oh well. I'm still having sharp, wincing pains on septum if I move my nose in certain positions while eating.. or if i sneeze or cough. HELP!!!
Can one climb steps? Can one use indian style toilet? Can one gargle with water while brushing? Can one flare ones nostrils or make any movement of the nose? Can one practice yogic breathing techniques?(closing alternate nostrils) Can one use saline nasal irrigation using a neti pot and blow the nose after to remove all the water. Can one yawn or cough? Can one pick ones nose? How long is the septum vulnerable after surgery? What activities(examples)can cause it to bend and undo the surgery?
Was getting better until yesterday. Have been using saline nasal spray every 2-3 hours. Keeping my nose clean and crust free. Was told not to blow my nose. Unrelieved severe congestion making it hard to breathe started last night. Nothing helped. I feel like I have a sinus infection now. Sinuses burn coughing up yellow mucous which was previously clear or bloody. Did blow two large clots from right nostril but still congested on the left. What else can I do?
Hi, I had a Septoplasty about a year ago to correct a deviated septum and have been coughing up little brown pieces which I have really no idea what the are. They smell quite pungent and are small and brownish grey in colour. Could this be loose cartilliage? Can someone please help as this is very strange to me. Thanks
I had septoplasty 3 days ago. I know coughing is common with this surgery and thinking maybe because they also had issues getting the tube down so may be added irritation. My coughing has been constant for 3 days straight similar to how I feel when I have strep throat. But I was told if I snore normally that it will be increased during this time. After the healing process will my snoring most likely go away? This made me nervous to hear since I was hoping it would be resolved with this surgery.
