Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Best treatment for deviated nasal septum (DNS) is surgical correction (septoplasty).
DNS is fixed mechanical obstruction. Without correcting it, your nose will not be opened.
So repeat surgery is needed. Better to get it done through experienced ENT surgeon.
Also start
1. Plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated
2. Steam inhalation 5-6 times a day.
3. Intranasal spray containing steroid (fluticasone).
4. Oral combination of antihistamine and anti allergic drugs.
All these and septoplasty by experienced ENT doctor will definitely help you.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
