2 months after septoplasty and turbinate reduction swelling/concerns.

October 28, 2017
Asked By:CongestedConnor in Garland, TX

I had a Septoplasty & Turbinate reduction early September. Since the surgery I still had issues breathing. One side of my nose would always get clogged while sleeping. My doctor told me to wait and that it should get better because of the swelling. Well, last week it started to get worse. My breathing is worse then before the surgery and I have constant sinus pressure/congestion and getting headaches. I went to see my doctor and he said to wait 6 months and it "MAY GET BETTER". Is this normal?
