Hello, i had a rhinoplasty surgery 9 weeks ago, the recovery was going well, until 2 days ago i was looking inside my nose just for curious and i saw a round pink thing inside my nostrils, i thought that was normal because I didn’t feel it and i was breathing good, and its not blocking my nostrils and i breath normally.. but i had to go and search about it.. everything on google said turbinate. I start paying attention to it and when im in place that makes my nose dry or if im around heat conditions it make it larger... as long as my nose is not dry and im in a cool place it goes down.. and most of the time the right side get smaller and the left side get larger.. and sometime both gets smaller i don’t know what’s going on.. i called to make an appointment with an otolaryngologist but i have to wait 10 days until the doctor sees me.. and this thing is driving me crazy

    Use a vaporizer to help keep your sinus from drying out, but make sure you keep it clean. Heat will dry the sinus out quick, I have very bad sinus's keep a vaporizer going in the room I'm in during the winter months. good luck to you, hope you are feeling better soon.
