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 prefer to avoid having surgery, a home treatment may be an option. You can consult a doctor if you're not sure which treatment is best for you.
Non-surgical therapies
It's possible that you have noticed a hole or void in your nasal septum. Some people experience no symptoms. Others may have 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.
Options for Surgical Treatment
Nasal septum perforations can also be treated surgically. These options aren’t the best because they could cause bleeding or infection. It is possible for the perforation to reopen and need to be resected. If you are looking for a home treatment option, talk to your doctor. The pros and cons of each type of surgical method are outlined below.
Side effects of surgery
When there is a nasal septum perforation, a person may experience various symptoms. The most common is nasal bleeding. However, if the hole becomes large enough, it can cause blood loss and mucous membrane crusting. There are also chronic infections. Perforated septums can cause bleeding, crusting, and other problems that could interfere with normal breathing.
Antihistamines
The use of antihistamines for nasal septum per foration is not a viable home treatment for this condition. They may cause side effects, as well as preventing 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. While both are intended to relieve the symptoms of the perforation, the latter is more permanent. Before you begin any treatment, it is important to discuss all options with your doctor. Nasal ointments may be used to regulate and maintain nasal moisture. However, they may contain ingredients that are harmful for the body.
