Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. The reason why she is still not hearing properly is probably due to remnant adenoids, which could have been left behind and would have undergone compensatory hypertrophy, causing the same problem for which surgery has been done. I would recommend she use Metatop (Mometasone Furoate Monohydrate) nasal sprays, two puffs in each nostril, two times a day for the next three weeks. This nasal spray shrinks the adenoid tissue, which would have become inflamed and increased in size, blocking the eustachian tubes and causing the issues out there. Along with this, please apply Otrivin P (Xylometazoline Hydrochloride solution) nasal drops, three drops in each nostril three times a day for one week.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for the query. I want to ask a few questions to get more details about your query. Is there is any obvious external nasal deformity post-trauma?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. On post septoplasty and turbinate reduction, there is some amount of temporary obstruction on one side due to crusting and accumulation of secretion.

Try to have nasal wash five to six times a day.

Constant irritation in the throat with phlegm can be due to two significant reasons: Allergic issues in the nose, wherein there is some irritative substance entering; thereby, the nose initially produces a sneezing reflex to remove the offending agent.
