Septoplasty/turbinoplasty help breathing if done well; risks are minimal—some cases improve with meds alone.

I've been taking HIFENACP twice daily for 3 days, along with Levocetirizine and Azithromycin once daily because I had a fever of 102 and body ache.

These might include complications related to bleeding, infection, or the need for additional procedures to address complications like septal perforation
