Nose Swelling not gone
I had an operation of my nose in January as it was blocked with turbinates & bone enlargement due to dust allergy. The operation was not a lazer but a normal one .
The doctor operated from my left nose . The swelling has not yet gone . I had medications post operation for 2-3 months and complained my doctor but he did not bother . What do i do ? its been more than a year n half . It does not look swollen , i dont feel its normal when i touch it . Its like less sensitive when i pin it .
You seem to have has deviated nasal septum with inferior turbinate hypertrophy for which doctor might have done surgery known as septoplasty with turbinate reduction. Now you might be looking at inferior turbinates of yours which is not a abnormal swelling and it will never be completely removed during surgery as it is required for normal nose function. If you don't have nose block you should worry much about swelling inside nose
