What is the reason for my blocked nose after septoplasty and turbinoplasty?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

There is a possibility that the splints have mobilized and blocked your nose. This is a normal phenomenon. But the more common possibility is that splints are causing increased nasal secretions. They are a foreign entity to our human body, and whenever a foreign entity enters the body, the body tries to fight it and removes it with secretions. This will recover by itself once the splints are removed. Meanwhile, I would suggest Nasoclear (saline nasal drops) thrice daily and Otrivin (Oxymetazoline hydrochloride) nasal drops, two drops twice daily in both the nostrils, to control the secretions. Only a doctor, during the physical examination, can tell whether the splints have moved or not. I hope this helps. Kindly revert in case of further queries.
