I had a Septoplasty in April this year, all went well and I now can breathe a lot better through my right nostril, since this surgery and has got worse as the time gone on. My throat is extremely dry all the time, I cannot produce any mucus on the right hand side and to be fair I have very little on the left which makes my throat extremely dry that it feels like I have an obstruction/narrowed? Is this normal or is there anything I can do to help? Thank you Im advance. Craig
I recently had surgery 5 days ago. On the fourth day I started to become dizzy. Well more of a light headed kind of feeling. I am not sure if I attribute this to the dried up blood in my nose. I also realized I have a small lump feeling when I swallow. I am getting my splints removed in two days. Would that fix my problem? Or is the problem associated with my inner ear? I have been using saline for my post op care. Thanks,
I recently saw an ENT, who confirmed I had a substantial deviated septum which has caused dry throat, nose bleeds, etc.. As you can see by my pictures, I have a lot going on with my nose. My question is this: if I have the septoplasty, but nothing else done to my nose, can the septum become deviated again because my nose is crooked? It seems the older I get, the more my nose twists. If this is the case, I will consider plastic surgery to correct the twisted nose or whatever necessary.
I find my throat very dry causing me to have trouble swallowing almost everything except for fluids. This also causes loss of appetite and sleepless nights. Could something have happened during surgery that injured my throat as this wasn't an issue before.
I had my surgery over 2 years ago and my breathing I still great. Clear as it should be. However, I constantly feel like I need to clear my throat. No matter what I do it doesn't help. My doctor said it could be dry mouth do to medication but I do t have dry mouth. My mouth salivates fine. It almost fee like there is a thick mucus that constantly slowly drain in my throats and irritates it. Sometimes I try to clear it so much it ends up getting sore. What in the world is going on? Thanks!
I broke my nose about 10 years ago, it was broken in 4 places and it took 17 stitches between the nose bridge and eyebrows. I struggle with nasal drip now. At night is the worst as I seem to have mucus in my throat constantly. I spend most of the night trying to cough it out or swallow it down. It's gross and has really affected my sleeping. Is there a surgery I can do to fix this?
I'm a 39 yr old male. Good health, 5'9 about 172lbs. In 2010, I had a septoplasty done. Since, I've always battled with post nasal drip. I've always been under the impression that I had to choose between better breathing & post nasal drip. At the time I felt better breathing was the best choice! Now, I'm constantly clearing the phlegm out of my throat, sore throats, sometimes feels like a lump in my throat, tonsil stones, constant swallowing. Is there another procedure to fix this?!
