Painful but helpful: It is a painful procedure, but can be helpful if you have tried medication and did not work for 4 weeks. How bad is it, how is affecting your lifestyle? if bothering you too much, may need to take it seriously and do surgery But it also has risks - check with your doctor

Septoplasty: A septoplasty is a procedure to alter the internal anatomy of the nose for functional reasons. The first week is a little uncomfortable because of swelling and internal splints. Most people resume normal activity the second week.
