Hi XXXXXXX ,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query , seen picture , reviewed your medications and understand your concern.
After reading your clinical history it appears that you are having perforated septum complication of septoplasty .
If I were your treating Doctor for this case , I would advice
continue saline rinse & Saline nasal spray thrice daily to remove crust ,
Steam Inhalation twice daily ,
Antihistaminic levocetirizine + Montelukast combination at night to decrease congestion ,
Tab vitamin C twice daily to promote healing &
ointment neosporin twice daily in nose to treat infection & prevent drying .
Wound will heal early .
After wound healing , you can go for septal button for septal hole closure or go for septal hole repair surgery . For septal hole repair surgery you will need experience surgeon in this procedure since success rate is around 80% .
Hope this answer helpful to you . If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
