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?

Answer: Nasal obstruction. Long wait to see surgeon. What should I do?
The tip of the nose will drop over the next several months. The will happen as the swelling resolves. The majority of the change will likely happen over the next few weeks, but the tip will come down even more as time goes on. You should not worry too much at this point. Best regards.
Without seeing a physician there is no way of telling whether the are is fractured or not. I would recommend going in to see a board certified surgeon who specializes in nasal surgery for a complete examination.
