I had septoplasty and turbinate reduction 2 months ago, and for the last 6 weeks or so, I feel constant phlegm at the back of my left nose (incision made this side during surgery) and above the throat and I cannot clear it. It's always there and it's annoying. It gets worse when I eat or drink. Is this still an adjusting thing from my surgery? If so would this get better in time? Or should I consult the doctor? Thank you so much.
I had a Septoplasty & Turbinate reduction early September. Since the surgery I still had issues breathing. One side of my nose would always get clogged while sleeping. My doctor told me to wait and that it should get better because of the swelling. Well, last week it started to get worse. My breathing is worse then before the surgery and I have constant sinus pressure/congestion and getting headaches. I went to see my doctor and he said to wait 6 months and it MAY GET BETTER. Is this normal?
I had a minor deviation of nasal septum and some small cysts in sinuses. The surgeon said that the cysts are not a issue and only septum deviation should be fixed. The intervention went well but it seems that the wounds haven't healed completely even after 5 months. One nostril which was affected by septum deviation is still filled with mucus in the morning and I started to feel some pain in the left part of the nose. I use saline sprays for a long time and 0 effect.
I got a turbinectomy and septoplasty to fix a slight deviated septum blocking my left nostril. After removing the splints on week later I could breath fine from both nostrils, but now, 3 days after, my left nostril is completely shut and feels worse than before. Did my septum shift back?
HELP!!!! Right nostril collapsed so I had surgery to fix it and they shaved bone down also. While under they noticed these things in left nostril which required burning them off. Which was never something discussed till after which is to late. My issue and concerns is how crooket it looks now on the left. Is it swollen or something needs to be fixed on left to Make look better. It never was like this before and now I am so upset.
I am ONE year post primary septo-rhinoplasty. Pre-surgery, I had an almost perfect profile and straight nose & even nostrils. What I asked for was correction of breathing problem and narrower nose. My nose is much bigger than before, crooked and noticeably shifted to the left, tip is hard and bulbous and nostrils uneven. I also have chronic pain in the bridge and tip areas. I consulted 3 different surgeons, all say different things. My own surgeon says he can't help further. Any Suggestions?
My surgeon says my nose looks good, very clean. But I feel as if I have a pretty awful sinus infection - not really something I was prone to before the surgery, which was mainly to correct a collapsed nostril and narrow airway. Not much discharge but just a lot of pain, exhaustion, and a very congested feeling. I read somewhere that this feeling is normal during recovery, but I am 6 weeks out at this point and this feeling is not really getting better. In fact some days I think it's worse.
I had those surgeries over a year ago and I still have difficulty breathing and whistling in my nose congestion etc. and I can feel my septum is almost closed on the left but that is usually the only side I can breathe from what could be causing this?
I know I can't fix a deviated septum but I wanted to know if there's anything I can do to make sure it doesn't get worse without getting surgery, because it's a very mild one. My nose does hurt sometimes so I want to know if there's anything I can either put in my nose, outside of my nose, or even to just take like medicine to help make sure the deviated septum stays the same and not get worse. Thank you
