4556201 tn?1356445652 Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. In Elementary school, I fractured my nose pretty bad. Then in my early teens, I realized I had a 'bump' on the bridge, & a deviated septum. The 'bump' is caused by 2 super sharp bones sticking out. (It's so extreme/sharp that family & friends I let touch it were *all* really shocked by it, & assured me it was*not* normal.
Avatar m tn I have been having chronic problems with post nasal drip and pressure on the bridge of my nose. It's not terribly bothersome, rather annoying. Let me explain what I mean by post nasal drip. I feel like there is constantly mucus stuck in the back of my nose. It isn't really dripping down my throat, rather just sitting in the back of my nose. It feels thick and I often have to snort in order to get it out. It is not discolored, just clear/milky white.
Avatar m tn Last year, nasal spetum was deviated to left. I got breathing problems, blockage of left nasal etc. I went to doctor and he operationed my nose. after the operation i got no problem like breathing, air passage everything was ok. but now again i am facing same problem from 3-4 months that i faced last year. when i see inside my nose in the mirror then nasal spetum seem to be deviated to left. My question is that Is nasal septum can deviate again after some time after Septoplasty?
Avatar m tn | And I would like to know if that would be easy to fix it and what would it cost in Canada! And I just uploaded pics on my profile! Thanks!
1329703 tn?1275158081 I have a deviated septum that was found when my allergy shots started working but I still couldn't breathe through my nose. I also have mild sinus issues with them clogging and a mild infection (normally my immune system gets it under control within a week or so). I have the surgery in a couple of weeks so I can't comment on the long term affects yet but I'm hopeful it will help!
Avatar n tn I know surgery is an option for the deviated septum. But will my nose ever not hurt again??? It also causes so much pressure in my ears that it has aggravated my TMJ. Sure wish I knew then what I know now...
Avatar f tn s of sinus infection. But it souns like the severe deviated septum is the cause of this, not primarily bacterial. Will this probably mean surgery? Websites make it sound simple, out-pt treatment. Would like to have the real scoop from real people who have had this done. I'm not looking to beautify my nose, just be able to breath thru it, not snore, and not constantly blowing it. I would appreciate any input. Thank you for your help.
189372 tn?1219833358 Should also point out that the ENT said that my problems are with the left side of my nose being more blocked that the other because of the deviated septum, although I have noticed that my nose seems to change throughout the day, for example in the morning my left nostril could be completely blocked and by lunch time it has cleared a little and then my right nostril is completely blocked. It changes throughout the day, everyday.
Avatar m tn year 2001 When i started working, i had my physical/medical exam everything went OK. since medical exams doesnt include xrays/ctscan of the head the deviated septum was not detected, so i was unaware that something in me was wrong. year 2004 when i visited a dentist to extract my tooth, the dentist notice that my jaw is locking and my 2 front upper teeth is not align in the midline of my nose, so i was advised to have dental braces, due to finances i didnt bother to have it.
Avatar m tn I broke my nose years back and have a deviated septum and possibly some other structural differences in my nose. After the test I noticed that they put the swab in through the nostril that I have trouble breathing through. Could this affect whether the swab can be inserted far enough back to get enough of a sample for the test?
Avatar f tn t want to have to keep getting surgery to correct my deviated septum. Is there any other options (besides nose sprays)?
Avatar f tn Well he did make it easier to breathe out of the clogged side, but he moved the septum too far and now I cannot breathe out of what was my "good" side. My headaches are worse than they were before the surgery. The bone in my nose feels wierd and the top it off the doctor said this is all "normal." Well it's definitely NOT normal. It has been 7 months since the surgery and I still cannot breathe.
538090 tn?1213808112 My question to you is, is it common for both nostrils to get congested at the same time because of deviated septum or my flu and bronchitis plays a role in it? I haven't been sleeping for over three weeks because of that and is developing anxiety and is afraid to go to bed. Since my surgery date is in September, I would like you to help me to regain my sanity and restore some sleep.
Avatar f tn 20 mg ,been on it over 6 weeks now ,I do a have a nasal deviated septum on the right side and that's the side were the problems have been
1452978 tn?1285110262 This can lead to sinus infection, ear infection and headaches. You need to undergo detailed examination of nose and radiography of the sinuses to rule out existing sinusitis. The septoplasty or rhinoplasty for deviated nasal septum (DNS) will help you to relieve your symptoms. The magnitude of improvement varies from person to person. Many of them are usually free of symptoms. I suggest you to consult ENT surgeon for further management. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn Might want to get an opinion from a ear, nose and throat doctor to see if breaking your nose has damaged your nose. It might have changed the deviated septum to a point that something should be done to fix it. Anything that is very painful and doesn't improve greatly within 24 hours should be seen by a doctor.
Avatar m tn I have noticed that the sit of my nose where my deviated septum had been seems to still be significantly inflamed and that the generalized area around where the maxillary sinus would be hurts as well. Perhaps the most annoying, is the fact that my upper left molars kill. is this likely just residual inflammation from the surgery itself? i do know there was a good amount of infection in the left maxillary prior to my surgery, so wondering if this is just aggravated by the surgery.
Avatar n tn Is it possible to get a deviated septum after only 2 months of cocaine use? When i blow my nose, it hurts and then a piece of skin will come out. What should i do about this? (Yes, i realize stop doing cocaine is the best thing. Spare me those comments.
Avatar f tn Yes. I had the septoplasty in 2005. The deviated septum came back on the same side. I am scheduled for a revision in September 2008. There was no accident that caused it. It just noticed in my 20s. Still trying to get even air flow.
Avatar f tn Septoplasty for deviated septum and coblation of the turbinates My teenage son had this as outpatient surgery two days ago. Day one was pretty rough, so keep current on those painkillers. His doctor's advice; use bags of frozen peas instead of ice packs - they mold to the face better. The cold really helps. He also told me to get an over the counter spray called "simply saline" to spray right in the nose to keep it moist.
Avatar f tn Hey all, I'm getting slightly concerned about a lump on my nose. It's on the right side along the bridge. It's a few mm in size, but obviously on the nose it stands out a bit. Background information. I'm 27, Male, ex smoker. I have chronic sinusitis and a deviated septum, these will be operated on within the next couple of months so hopefully I'll be able to breathe again.
Avatar f tn Does deviated septum cause low oxygen In the body and which leads bronchitis and later digits clubbing.
Avatar n tn Your son could continue to have some swelling of the lining of his nose. Your son’s pediatrician can easily look into the nose and tell if this is the cause of the stuffiness.
