My left turbinate has been swollen shut since my septorhinoplasty 10 months ago. I reached out to my surgeon and he prescribed me a nasal steroid spray. It did nothing. Went back 2 more times he told me its allergies. Got a second opinion and got lucky and got a same day appointment cause someone canceled but unfortunately that morning (before I called) I used a decongestant spray so the doctor literally did not believe that it was swollen. (No I do not use the spray often hardly once a month)
I been told I have to stop using my nasal spray for 3 weeks before I can have Turbinate reduction surgery.Dr gave me Prescription steroid nasal spray it didnt work the first night I was breathing through my mouth it made my mouth so dry my tongue felt like sandpaper I couldnt sleep it felt like was Suffocating there is no way I can go 3 weeks with out using my nasal spray
i have a deviated septum and i have enlarged turbinates. I have to use nasal spray every day. I had my turbinates reduced about 10 years ago as an out patient it was very uncomfortable and painful my ENT did it. How bad does a deviated septum have to be to need surgery. I have been told I should have it fixed and that its not that bad.. so I don't really know and can the turbinates be fixed at the same time
Was getting better until yesterday. Have been using saline nasal spray every 2-3 hours. Keeping my nose clean and crust free. Was told not to blow my nose. Unrelieved severe congestion making it hard to breathe started last night. Nothing helped. I feel like I have a sinus infection now. Sinuses burn coughing up yellow mucous which was previously clear or bloody. Did blow two large clots from right nostril but still congested on the left. What else can I do?
Respected doctor, I have a hole in septum because of septoplasty surgery, due to which crusting and blockage of nose hurried me and I frequently drain nasal passages with luke warm salt water added baking soda. I fed up with above process that requires no particular time. I also take medicines like dezacor or deflazacort, solsphre, nasoclear (saline spray), levocitrezen etc., Please kindly sort out my problem for which I shall be grateful to you. thank u sir, murty
Recently I was diagnosed as having an inflamed turbinate on my left side only. Prior to this I also had difficulty with my right nostril, though that cleared up. I have been taking the nasal spray, but it doesn't seem to be helping. The first day I took it, it helped somewhat, but I snorted instead of breathing in gently that time. It's been a few days on the nasal spray and I am concerned about having an unexplained turbinate inflammation that doesn't go away, as I have read about online.
Hi, I have had some difficulty recovering from a septorhinoplasty about two months ago. A steroid shot in the turbinates helped a fair amount. Is it OK to use a prescribed steroid nasal spray over these next months as I heal? Does it compromise cartilage (or anything else)? Thank you!
