I had a turbinate reduction which has left me with dryness and sensitivity in my nose. What can I do?

Asked By:sageandpine in Cleveland, OH

I broke my nose and needed to have the deviated septum fixed. The surgeon wanted to also do a turbinate reduction. So now, 2 1/2 years later, every time I breath in the air is too cold and dry. It is uncomfortable to say the least and bothers me all day every day. The only good day is when it is very warm and raining. Spraying salt water in my nose makes it worse. Any ideas for how to improve this would be greatly appreciated.
