After suffer some trauma to my nose, my right nostril has been blocked for years. When I'm alone, I constantly sniff through it forcefully to try to get it to breathe. It doesn't seem like it's damaging the shape of my nose but I'm CONSTANTLY CONSTANTLY sniffing and snorting on my airways to try to get it open. It's dehumanizing, and sometimes I also stick my finger up there to try to get myself to breathe freely. No matter how hard I sniff I can't clear the blockage but I keep trying?
I've had a blocked nostril for years, pretty sure some cartilage fell into my airway after trauma. I'm constantly sniffing through that nostril to try to clear it and I can feel cartilage floating around. My septum still looks straight. How do I fix the broken cartilage that is only on the right side of the nose? I don't think you can put spreader grafts on only one side, and I would prefer not to have any surgery. My ENT said he can't see my cartilage until inside surgery HELP
I have had a blocked right nostril for 6 years. I can't blow it out. For some reason, my body is constantly urged to sniff it, and I cannot breathe freely. Additionally, my nose feels like it's collapsing and i'm really aware of the nasal cycle. However, I've been to doctors and they said I did not have a deviated septum.
Had a tiny hole for a few months in right nostril, it isnt sore, I recall pulling scabs away from this area. Is it possible to damage the skin this way and it to take this long to heal. Sometimes it looks like it is healing but I sneeze or sniff and it appears again. Also the tiniest amount of Vaseline will cover it. I do not do cocaine.
When using a saline nasal spray do you breathe it in or do you squirt in a few drops after a nose job ? I am not clear on how to use the spray knowing you shouldnt be blowing your nose or doing heavy sniffling. I am on day 2 post op.
5 weeks post op. at 3 weeks a lot of my swelling had went down and it seemed like my nose was reaching a pleasant shape and size. however , over the next week and this week , my nose has gotten more swollen. Even bigger than it was before I got surgery. I'm not sure if it's connected to constant sniffling, or excessively rubbing my nose while washing my face , or a sunburn ??
Hello, I am one day post op and was wondering if light sniffling and breathing out of my nose is ok to do? I am breathing out of my mouth as much as I can, but when dozing off to get some rest I noticed that I was breathing out of my nose. Also as soon as I got out of surgery I really didn't know what was going on so I took a deep sniffle, that ws the last time I sniffled deep. I just want to make sure I'm not doing or have done anything that could reallly affect my healing and outcome. Thank u.
