A member asked:
What should i do with nasal septum perforation while at home? can it heal on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends upon size: A small nasal septum perforation may heal up on its own. It probably will not heal up if it is large. The best things you can do are to not smoke or inhale any toxic substances and stay in general good health. Exercise, healthy diet and a multivitamin are good ideas.
