Asked By:whatsgoingon in Sandwich, IL

I have a hole and I feel like I don't have any major symptoms other than I feel a pressure. If I leave it alone will it get worse? I feel like I am only breathing out of one nostril. Without segery will I ever gain my other nostril back? I don't want my nose to clapse it I don't treat the issue.
