Is It Normal to Tell a Person with Nasal Trauma and Obvious Broken Nose to Use a Netti Po? (photo)

               An internal exam of your nose could determine if the sensation you have is due to structural abnormality.  If this is the case, a rhinoplasty could be performed to correct the deformity.

Sorry to hear about the trauma you experienced to your nose. It is possible the trauma led to deviation of your septum. Your nose may have also collapsed in that area due to the trauma. Your doctor suggested a netti pot to relieve some of your symptms. However, this will not cure the problem. From what you describe, it is likely that surgery will be necessary to correct the issue you are experiencing. In general, trauma to the nose can lead to:

1) Structural irregularities
2) Functional irregularities
3) Difficulty breathing

I would recommend a consultation with a qualified rhinoplasty surgeon to help determine the exact nature of your issue and how it may be resolved. Look for board certification and fellowship training to help ensure you are in good hands. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck with fixing your issue.

You need to be examined by a plastic surgeon to determine what exactly is going on with your nose and if you might benefit from surgery to correct the problem.  It looks to me that you are a good candidate for surgery, but you should wait a few months to allow all swelling to resolve.
