Allergies? Help!

by jtizzly, Dec 05, 2007 08:34AM
Last July (2006), I had septoplasty to correct my extremely deviated septum.  Ever since then, my nose has been persistently stuffy.  I went to an ENT doctor about it in June, and he said that it was probably seasonal allergies and prescribed Nasonex.  STILL no change in my breathing, so I went back over Thanksgiving weekend.  The doctor still maintains that it's allergies and prescribed Fexofenadine (Allegra, I think) and Singulair--and instructed me to continue using the Nasonex as well.  It's been 2 weeks and I've still seen no change!

I feel like taking three allergy medications simultaneously is a bit excessive.  In addition, stuffy nose is the ONLY allergy-like symptom that I have--I don't have itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose, skin problems, etc.  I'm just so disappointed because I thought I'd finally be able to breathe clearly after the septoplasty and now, a year and a half later, my breathing is just as bad as ever.  Can anybody give me an idea as to what's going on in my nose???
