Asked By:advaith in Thrissur, 13

I have underwent Septoplasty two weeks before due to Deviated septum. Now the pain has reduced and last day, The surgeon took off the remnants of the stitches inside my nostrils and cleaned my nose. Now my nostrils are clean but still I feel difficulty in breathing through both the nostrils at a time. When the left nostril is opened (can breathe very smoothly), I feel burning pressure and block in the right nostril. After some time, the same is happening vice versa. Is it normal
