###Human: What causes breathing issues after septoplasty? ###Assistant: Hi. Well to begin with, why was septoplasty performed in the first place? Did the similar symptoms exist before you underwent the surgery? If you did, then there is only one possibility left for the problems that you r having right now, that is undercorrection or incomplete surgery. Considering that there is absolutely no allergic issues whatsoever and there are no other associated nasal issues that we could be seeing here. Antibiotics and nasal steroid sprays are not going to bring much benefit either and should be taken for a long term. On the other hand, what you could possibly do is to lay down with your head upwards facing the ceiling rather than taking a posture which can aggravate the obstruction. You should be meeting the operating surgeon to see what could be the reason for the current problem, because he/she is the best person to answer that question.
