A member asked:
I had turbinate removal & septorhinoplasty 5 wks ago. my breathing has improved a lot since, but will it improve even more when all swelling is gone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Swelling may obstruct airflow in the nasal passages. As the swelling resolves you will notice improvement. In the meantime watch for any signs of infection, cough or difficulty breathing.
