Asked By:Brave497814

I have had surgery over a year ago( and still have dryness now since surgery - it can cause a feeling of congestion, and stuffy nose and on bad days blocked feeling. I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction at the same time as rhinoplasty. I did not have any issues before surgery. This is impacting my life a lot. I am 14 months post-surgery. I use humidifiers, nasal oil, and sprays, drink a lot of water etc
