Septorhino 5 months ago and my RIGHT nostril still blocked. I had severe bleeding from my LEFT nostril 3 weeks post op and went to ER and packing was placed. Now every time I look up my left nostril the airway looks so big and I can breathe strongly from that side but a tiny part of my septum looks like it’s deviated to the right and the airway in my right side looks smaller. I can sometime breathe from both nostrils and sometimes my left one is blocked and the right opens up, but this is rare.
