Too much cold air entering the nostrils

Yeah I'm not really sure what's going on my symptoms are fluctuating but thankfully I feel much better than I did a few weeks ago. I'm watching my diet for now and monitoring my symptoms, diet and behaviour. That's all I can do really.

If things don't improve significantly in a few months I may consider the Stem cell injections.
What do you think?

Du721, I'm unfamiliar with the use of stem cells for nasal symptoms and to regenerate turbinate function. To my surprise I found this review of regenerative medicine and nasal surgery from Mayo Clinic proceedings. The paper discusses findings from 1994-2014.
- Regenerative Medicine and Nasal Surgery https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(14)00877-5/pdf

It can be really difficult to tell which stem cell therapies and regenerative medicine practices are effective and which institutions are offering evidence-based proven therapies. What's hope and what is hype?

To help people learn more about the proven therapies and the promise of developing therapies, Mayo Clinic offers a free telephone consult service. When you call the consult service, they will tell you about the availability of approved stem cell therapy at Mayo Clinic and elsewhere, and for what conditions. They can also tell you about research studies that are actively recruiting participants. Furthermore, you can add your name to a database to be notified when additional studies and information become available. You can learn more about the Consult Service here http://www.mayo.edu/research/centers-programs/center-regenerative-medicine/patient-care/clinical-services/regenerative-medicine-consult-service.
Or call 1-844-276-2003 to speak with one of Mayo's experts.

@du6721-
• I would do everything you can on your own first.
•Especially if you are feeling improvement.
•Even stem cell injections/implants etc...are all still experimental.
•Even these procedures are determined based off what you explain.
•I think the swollen feeling you’ve been having has been your bodies over compensation response. But you wouldn’t know that. Once that changes goes down a bit, that’s when you are being made aware of the openness.
•Any turbinate/nasal surgery is going to cause some kind of disfunction as you are no longer dealing with the original anatomy and your body is now trying to adapt to these new changes. This is what they don’t tell you.
•Unless Das has a discussion with you about airflow dynamics then I wouldn’t move forward. The injections/implants are all a wait and see approach. The nose has too many moving parts. He would have to see you in person.
•The ENT community does not fully understand their own field. Only you know your body best. What’s right and what’s not. Unfortunately after Mother Nature is messed with it’s hard to regain normalcy. It’s sad because on this site, we can not give medical advice as we are not medical professionals. But many people end up here due to medical professional mistakes. So ultimately our word/experience is more honest and real world than a medical professional once they’ve caused harm post surgery.
