There are many ways to treat nasal septum perforation. We will be discussing non-surgical and surgical options. Side effects are also discussed. We'll also discuss the options for antihistamines as well as whether surgery is an option. If you don't want to undergo invasive procedures, home treatment might be an option. Consult a doctor to determine the best method for you.
Non-surgical treatments
It's possible that you have noticed a hole or void in your nasal septum. While some patients experience no symptoms, some have a range of unpleasant symptoms, including bleeding and scabbing. Non-surgical treatments might be best for you if you experience any of these symptoms. These are the most common treatment options to treat nasal septum perforation.
Surgical options
The only option for this problem is surgery. These methods aren't always the best, as they can lead to infection or bleeding. You may need another surgery if the perforation does not close completely. Discuss your options with your doctor if home treatment is an option. The pros and cons of each type of surgical method are outlined below.
Side effects of surgery
One may experience several symptoms when the nasal septum has perforated. Although nasal bleeding is the most common, it can also lead to significant blood loss, crusting, and other complications. There are also chronic infections. Perforated septums may cause bleeding and crusting. This can make it difficult to breathe normally.
Antihistamines
The use of antihistamines for nasal septum per foration is not a viable home treatment for this condition. Side effects of antihistamines can cause inflammation and irritation. Antihistamines can cause dryness and irritation, as well as a sore throat and a whistling sound.
Steroid sprays
There are two types of treatment available for nasal septum piercing: either surgical treatment or topical creams. Both are designed to treat the symptoms of the perforation while the former is a long-term fix. Before you start any treatment, talk to your doctor. Nasal ointments can be useful in keeping the septum moist. These ointments may contain ingredients that can cause harm to the body.
