Deviated Septum, Breathing Difficulties In Left Nostril, Tonsillitis. Had Septorhinoplasty. Is Pain Normal?

I had a septorhinoplasty exactly a week ago. I had a deviated septum which was stopping me from breathing out of my left nostril. This caused me a lot of pain over the years as I would always get tonsillitis from breathing through my mouth instead. Because of the packing in my nose I haven't been able to breathe out if it. Now I'm suffering from tonsillitis which us killing almost worse than my nose. Is this normal? What should I do?


I am also seeing my doctor for the removal if my cast, stitches and packing. I am really squeamish and I'm really nervous about this as I heard it is really painful. I was just wondering if someone could give me a bit more information on this. Will it hurt? How long does it last? What does it feel like? Especially the nasal packing removal


Thank you

Dear friend,

I am Dr. (Col) R Karanwal, M.D. (Internal Medicine), Consultant Physician, for your assistance.

Thanks for reposing your faith in me and post your query on this website. I fully appreciate your concerns.

Tonsillitis is apparently due to post-nasal drip from infected sinuses. You will improve with 5-7 days of antibiotics, pain-killers and saline gargles.

Removal of stitches/nasal packages will be almost painless! So, no need to get worried. The ENT surgeon will advise you about precautions, when you visit him next.

Further, if you had visited my Clinic for consultation, I would have recommended
