Do you wonder why people snore when they have cold? Or why do we get blocked feeling during cold? At times it becomes difficult to lie down due to the obstruction. Most of the people say that their nasal bone is enlarged so they are suffering. They have been advised surgery for the same, for which they are afraid of. So friends, here is the good news. Homeopathy cures this condition with oral medicine. No surgery is required.
In reality, there is nothing like nasal bone. There is a septum which separates the nostrils. Typically, it sits at the centre and divides the nostrils evenly. However, in some people, this isn’t the case. Many people have an uneven septum, which makes one nostril larger than the other. Severe unevenness is known as a deviated septum. It can cause health complications such as a blocked nostril or difficulty breathing.
Symptoms
Sometimes it does not cause any symptoms. Sometimes it may cause the following signs and symptoms: Difficult breathing- The blockage can make it difficult to breathe through the nostrils. This problem increases when you have cold as it can cause your nasal passages to swell and narrow. Nosebleeds- The surface of your nasal septum may become dry, increasing your risk of nosebleeds. Facial pain- In severe cases, facial pain may cause. Noisy breathing during sleep – It is one of the many reasons for noisy breathing during sleep. Awareness of the nasal cycle- When you have obstruction you become aware about your breathing. But being aware of the nasal cycle isn't typical. Preference for sleeping on a particular side. Some people may prefer to sleep on a particular side in order to optimize breathing through the nose at night if one nasal passage is narrowed.
Complications
If you have a severely deviated septum causing nasal blockage, it can lead to: Dry mouth, due to chronic mouth breathing A feeling of pressure or congestion in your nasal passages Disturbed sleep, due to the unpleasantness of not being able to breathe comfortably through your nose at night
Treatment
Sometimes symptoms of a deviated septum can be relieved temporarily with medications like decongestants, antihistamines, nasal steroids. If medicine alone doesn't offer adequate relief, a surgical procedure called Septoplasty may be needed to repair a crooked septum and improve breathing. Still chances of recurrence are high.
