Hello and thanks for using this forum .
I am very sorry for your loss .
A deviated
Nasal septum (DNS) is either post traumatic like after an accident or congenital that since birth .In either the patient gives a history of obstructed breathing through the nose since birth or since the trauma .
The other most likely cause for the nose block that you are experiencing is
allergic rhinitis .The allergies in the human body can be due to altered immunity in response to allergens in the environment or mental stress .
In your case I feel that the demise of your father could be trigger for the
hypersensitivity causing the allergic rhinitis .
In such a case surgery will not really be of great help .
I shall be able to suggest the best Hom med for you if yu can answer the following questions
What is your body type -lean /
overweight /flabby /Muscular ?
What are your favourite foods ? How much salt and sour do you like ?
Do you also get discharge from nose ,
sneezing at any time of the day ?
Any relation to weather ?
Thanks and take care .
