Thank you for explaining it thoroughly! It felt like talking to 3 doctors face to face. Question: It is my 31st day after septoplasty operation. Breathing through nose felt perfect the day the waddings were taken out. But afterwards, into 3-4th week, it became difficult again to breathe through nose. I can feel that it happens in the middle part of my nose and not the frontal parts, so visually nothing septum related. I can also feel a humid bump up on the right inner side of my nose. It feels a bit better if I use saline rinse or other sprays. Now the question: Am I hurrying up to have a good breath again or something is wrong since it is 30days-post septoplasty? From Istanbul with love!

How are you now? I have the exact same symptoms 3 months post op

@@osduargil7229 I am better now. My doctor found an infection which prolonged the healing. Using lots of antibiotics made my immune system weaker which caused psychological issues that brought other stress-related illnesses. I can breathe much better now & sleep with my mouth closed. But I believe I have allergies so from time to time the air flow is not that perfect. My recommendation is not to play with your inner nose which could get infected easily through your finger nails. Check with your doctor that did the surgery. Wish a speedy recovery for you my friend!
