After septoplasty I was left with a perforation which is lower down and not going to cause collapsed nose (so i have been told) however although i dont have stuffiness/whistling i do sometimes get blood & an uncomfortable flapping feeling in my nose. It feels like too much air gets into my nose which makes it dry, my nose never runs except for occasional clear non smelly water substance which just falls out, also bad headaches with top teeth pain and ear pain, could the hole be causing these?
