I had septoplasty and bilateral turbinate reduction 8 weeks ago. When I breathe, the air feels very cold and dry (even inside a warm room) and immediately I feel air on my throat and to my lungs (cold,dry). Ive been doing rinses, using humidifier and keeping nostrils moistened but Im worried that my turbinates are not functioning properly. Also my voice is sounding nasal since the surgery even though it seems the swelling has subsided. Are these symptoms likely to balance out with more time?
I'm 14 and sometimes its hard to breath through my nose so I've become a mouth breather. Ive never had any trauma to my nose so I was wondering what is going on.
When I was 10 years old I was playing around with a rake and accidentally stepped on it and the handle went swinging up right onto my nose. Everything went black for a few seconds and then my nose started gushing blood. Will that have caused any damage to my nose? My voice is quite nasally and when I talk it sounds like I'm running out of breath. I also can't smell well and my nose always feels blocked. I'm 21 now, and wondering if septoplasty will affect my voice? Speaking and singing?
10 weeks ago I underwent septoplasty including turbinate reduction, maxillary and ethmoidecomy. I am on nasal irrigation corticosteroids for inflammation. I feel that my nasal passage is dry and uncomfortable. My nasal breathing is also noisy and airy at times, the doctor has ruled out a perforation. Is this noise likely to go away? I have a nasal voice at times too.
