Lingering dry nasal passageways

What's your current status? Did your symptoms ever improve? I've had the same symptoms for six months and got inferior turbinate reduction surgery for the swelling. At two months since my surgery my nose is still super dry. I found that pushing wet tissues (use sterile/filtered water) up my nose for long periods of time led to a partial decrease in swelling and let the small amount of mucus that my nose still makes accumulate. I'm looking into acupuncture to help with the dryness.

I have dry eyes, dry mouth, swollen and dry nasal passages, and clogged ears. My skin is also very dry. I have been tested for sjogrens three times.
I’m sixteen months post Covid and have seen many, many doctors. Artificial tears, and Xlear nasal spray treats the symptoms somewhat. I found saline nasal spray just makes me drier.
Like all the rest of you, I wonder if I will ever really recover.
Acupuncture did not help me but I think there’s a very broad variance in providers.
