My left turbinate has been swollen shut since my septorhinoplasty 10 months ago. I reached out to my surgeon and he prescribed me a nasal steroid spray. It did nothing. Went back 2 more times he told me it’s allergies. Got a second opinion and got lucky and got a same day appointment cause someone canceled but unfortunately that morning (before I called) I used a decongestant spray so the doctor literally did not believe that it was swollen. (No I do not use the spray often hardly once a month)
