What are the main symptoms of nasal septum deviation

summary

According to the deflection direction, there are two types of septal deviation, one is "C" type, the other is "s" type. The cartilage dislocation of nasal septum caused by trauma sometimes protrudes to the nasal vestibule. When the septum is deflected in high position, the deflected part often contacts with the middle turbinate closely, which can cause middle nasal meatus stenosis. When the deviation of nasal septum is obvious, there is a significant difference in the size of the two nasal cavities. When one side of the nasal cavity is obviously narrow, the opposite side of the turbinate often has "compensatory hypertrophy". In this talk to you about the main symptoms of nasal septum deviation, I hope to help you.

What are the main symptoms of nasal septum deviation

Symptom 1: nasal congestion is persistent. Unilateral nasal obstruction is in the shape of "C" on one side and bilateral nasal obstruction is in the shape of "s" on both sides. This is the most common symptom of nasal septum deviation. If the nasal obstruction is serious, the sense of smell will decrease.

Symptom 2: reflex headache, such as migraine part is located in the middle turbinate or inferior turbinate, and contact with the turbinate or even offset, often cause ipsilateral headache, can also become one of the causes of nasal neuralgia. After intranasal instillation of vasoconstrictor or topical anesthesia of nasal mucosa, headache can be relieved or disappeared.

Symptom 3:) nasal secretions increase: nasal septum deviation, stimulate glands, make nasal secretions increase, if secondary infection stimulate nasal mucosa, hypersecretion, mostly mucinous or mucopurulent secretions, if accompanied by sinus infection, it is purulent.

matters needing attention

Medication safety: generally, spicy and seafood food should be avoided after operation. Appropriate to eat some Qi or blood things, such as: wolfberry, tremella, jujube, etc. After the operation of nasal septum deviation, we should pay attention to: 1. 2. Nasal packing can be removed within 24-48 hours after operation. You can draw on the right side first, and then on the other side the next day. 3. Due to the obvious mucosal reaction after intranasal surgery, after removing the gauze, it is possible to apply Coptis ointment thinly in the nose. 4. If the incision healed well, the tamponade could be removed 5 days after operation. 5. No smoking in a short time.
