Swelling after septoplasty? Is it normal to have absolutely no airflow after 1 week?

October 25, 2017
Asked By:Lhkh51

I am 1 week post septorhinoplasty and have absolutely no airflow through my nose due to my septum being swollen both sides filling the whole of my nostrils. I understand swelling is normal, but is it normal to have absolutely no airflow after 1 week? I have trauma to the throat from the breathing pipe which makes it hard to eat/sleep and feel like it’s going to struggle to heal while I’m always breathing out of my mouth. I’m using nasal sprays, what can I do to ease septum swelling?
