Why is my nose so dry after rhinoplasty? What can I do?

Nikki15
Hello doctors, I am 6 months post op rhinoplasty. I have a few questions on things I’m noticing in my recovery. I have noticed my nose is extremely dry. It is very uncomfortable. Is this normal 6 months after? Will this resolve? What can I do to help? I am using AYR saline spray. Also I also do not feel air coming in and out of my nose. My turbinates were not touched during surgery. Is this normal? Not sure if it has anything to do with ho dry my nose is. I appreciate your time. Thank you!
