Airflow is returning but Septum is still deviated 3 days post surgery. Normal?

Asked By:sergd580 in Long Island, NY

Directly after the surgery my airflow felt nearly perfect. Of course, a few hours later I was completely swollen and had 0 airflow. Now the swelling has gone down a bit and I am getting some airflow but only through one nostril or the other and it switches back and fourth. Sometimes I get air through both but it is not as clear as when only one is working. Is it possible something went wrong or is this normal?
