Scabbing and mucus after rhinoplasty/septoplasmy? Is there anything I can do?

Asked By:mina1998 in Brandon, Florida

Hi, I had a rhino/septo about 6 weeks ago and I have bad scabbing and mucus in my throat. And my breathing is very congested at times I can only breathe out of one nostril, then sometimes it changes to the other. I’ve tried saline spray, Vaseline, ointment, and a humidifier. But scabs keep coming back even after I’ve cleaned it. Is there anything else I can do. I just want to be able to breathe better.
