I have had septorhinoplasty 24 days ago . I cannot breathe through my nose at all.Right nostril is completely blocked and i can see the tissue blocking my nasal cavity when i look inside my nostrils.Left nostril is constantly congested despite using saline nasal drops.I’m very irritated, i can’t sleep at all and breathing through mouth has become intolerable for me.I mentioned this to my surgeon and he didn’t take it seriously. Is this normal or should i see anothor doctor?
