Anything to help deal with a deviated septum while waiting to see an ENT?

Asked By:dobby19 in Brampton, ON

Nose has been blocked up on one side for 2 months now. Had CT scan, deviated septum. Wait time to see an ENT in Canada is 10 months. Use saline sprays, nasal steroid spray, vicks, breathe right strips. They all help a bit. Sometimes i have trouble sleeping because of it, its uncomfortable to deal with, and i find myself having to calm myself down to prevent a panic attack when i cant breathe through my nose. Is there anything that I can do to help deal with my nose while i wait to see the ENT?
