Is it normal to have trouble breathing out of both nostrils 3 weeks after ess? nose is sensitive to touch, head pressure, dry nose, low sense of smell

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breathing: swelling in nose takes 6-12 weeks to subside.Airway will most likely get better in 6-12 weeks. Sensitivity is normal. If very tender, may indicate infection .Abx may be indicated. head pressure is probably normal. Decreased sense of smell common, should improve with time. Should be doing nasal irrigation with saline twice a day
