I had a v. deviated septum and once I woke up from surgery I could breathe out of my right nostril so well, I was amazed, it felt great and open. I read online 2 use straws afterward and the nurse aide didn't say anything against them. The next day, after talking on the phone and trying to drink a milkshake afterward w/the straw, I felt too much suction, my nostrils closed up, and I felt an intense pressure. Do u think after the cast and dried blood/stitches r removed they will open up again?
