Can Nose Blockage With Breathing Difficulties Due To An Injury Be Treated?

Hi I am 50 and broke my nose at 2yrs old. It was never repaired. I saw nose and throat specialist around 2yrs ago. My nose blocks up at night on one side, I feel lots of pressure in that area and have a dry throat most of the time. The specialist said that as I get older the muscles are collapsing and that he did not want to do anything about it at that time. My nose is getting worse I have a slight headach in the mornings on a lot of days.Sometimes my throat is slightly sore and my voice is very raspy all day. I wake up a few times at night but I`m not sure that is because of my nose blocking my breathing or not. My specialist told me It will get worse as I get older What should I do?0000

Hello,

It may be deviated nasal septum or turbinate hypertrophy. But you didn't mention the what problem with your suffering from. Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Present you may use steam inhalation thrice a day for five days. Use tablet Levocetirizine for five days. If symptoms not improved please get it done nasal endoscopy and X-ray (para-nasal sinuses) AP view. Please review with reports and consult with your ENT specialist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
