i did my septoplasty 2 days ago. and i had to stay at the hospital for a day, My nose was stuffed with packing and the whole day was terrible. the next day they removed the left packing ( my septum was leaned toward the right side). and let me go home and told me to come 2 days later to remove the right side and after 7 days of the surgery they will remove the splints. my question is ,they removed the packing but i still cant breath. when will i be able to breath from my nose?
I had surgery to correct my deviated septum last week. I got my stents removed today and I can breathe through one nostril while the other is more stuffed up and i cant smell anything. Will this subside? Please tell me this will get better.
I got a septoplasty done Tuesday and it is now Friday. On Wednesday he took out the packing, and for a little bit after I could breath but now one nostril is completely clogged and the other one is mostly clogged. Also I've been doing the neilmed sinus rinse and it only comes out of the same nostril or my throat, not the other side. I know it says it takes like 2-4 weeks to be 100%, are these symptoms normal? My doctor is out of town so my next follow up isn't for 9 more days.
my nose i had deviated septum surgery 4 weeks today on june 19 2013 my nose is still stuffy like i never got the surgery and its the same hole that got stuff up last time is this normal i see my Dr monday
My nose has always been stuffy. I have had this condition since I was a small child needed braces because I needed to breathe through my mouth. I have tried using a Netipot, which helped for 5 minutes, then one side got stuffy again. I had a cold recently and used Zicam Extreme Congestion Relief spray, which completely cured my stuffy nose. Although I hated using it because I lost my sense of smell and taste for 12 hours, it was the first time (that I could remember) where I was able to actually breathe wholly through my nose.
As a child I'd get frequent sinus infections & stuffy nose. I now have allergies & sleep issues. If I stick my finger up my nose, the middle cartilage seems to be slanted to one sidethough not visible when looking up my nostrils. A slight bridge deformity is noticeable in certain lighting/angles (pic 1) revealing an S shape. Both parents have more defined/taller bridges & sharper/less bulbous tip than mine. Could correcting the septum (if that's the issue) have ANY small aesthetic changes? Thnx
i had septoplasty surgery 1 month ago my last Dr visit he said every thing looks great and there swollen but now my nose is stuffy again not as bad but still stuffy in one nostril hole..WHY IS IT STILL STUFFY SHOULD I CALL THE DR
