what causes breathing issues after septoplasty
hi well to begin with why was septoplasty performed in the first place did the similar symptoms exist before you underwent the surgery if you did then there is only one possibility left for the problems that you having right now that is undercorrection or incomplete surgery considering that there is absolutely no allergic issues whatsoever and there are no other associated nasal issues that we could be seeing here antibiotics and nasal steroid sprays are not going to bring much benefit either and should be taken for a long term on the other hand what you could possibly do is to lay down with your head upwards facing the ceiling rather than taking a posture which can aggravate the obstruction you should be meeting the operating surgeon to see what could be the reason for the current problem because he she is the best person to answer that question
hello doctor over a year ago I had operation to correct a deviated septum things started to get much better after healing now I am starting breathing issues when I lay down depending on which side my head is turned when I lay down that side of my nose that would be touching my pillow slowly starts to close while the other nostril remains open this happens on either side depending on which side I am laying on I was taking amox clan 875 and fluticasone but neither of those helped during the day while I am up I have no issues it is just at night when I lay down I do not think it is allergies at all
