Why Am I Still Breathing Bad 6 Months After Septoplasty?

chuckliebs1256
I had a septoplasty and turbinoplasty back in January. My breathing has not improved at all. To be honest it feels worse. I have gone to my Dr. many times since the surgery and he is saying that it looks clear. I can only breathe out of one nostril at a time and the one I can breathe out of feels clogged all the time. I dont know what to do or what is causing it. he has tried me on all types of medicine and took bllod work for allergy test. Nothing came back. Any suggestions?
